Question

The length of a room is 5.5 m and width is 3.75 m. Find the cost of paving the floor by slabs at the rate of Rs.800 per sq. metre.

• A. Rs.15,000
• B. Rs.15,550
• C. Rs.15,600
• D. Rs.16,500
• E. Rs.17,500

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Rs.16,500

Area of the floor = (5.5$\times$3.75) m${}^2$ = 20.625 m${}^2$

$\therefore$ Cost of paving = Rs. (800 $\times$ 20.625) = Rs.16500.
