Question

What is the cost of tiling a rectangular plot of land 300 m long and 100 m wide at the rate of Rs. 8 per sq. m.?

• A. Rs. 3,40,000
• B. Rs. 2,45,000
• C. Rs. 2,50,000
• D. Rs. 2,40,000

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Rs. 2,40,000

To find out the cost of tiling the rectangular plot, first of all, we will find out the area of the plot.
Given, l = 300 m, b = 100 m

Area of the rectangular plot = $l\times b$
= $300\times 100$ = 30000 sq.m.

So, the cost of tiling = $Area\times Rate$
= $30000\times 8$ = Rs. 2,40,000

So, the total cost of tiling the rectangular plot is Rs. 2,40,000
