Let the length, breadth and height of the room be l, b and h respectively As per question Cost of 2(l + b) x h = Rs. 48 ? Required cost = cost of 2 (2l + 2b) x 2h= cost of 4 [2(l + b) x h ]= 4 x Rs. 48= Rs. 192
perimeter = total cost / cost per m = 10080 /20 = 504mside of the square = 504/4 = 126mbreadth of the pavement = 3mside of inner square = 126 - 6 = 120marea of the pavement = (126 x126) - (120 x 120) = 246 x 6 sq mcost of pavement = 246*6*50 = Rs. 73800
Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres. Original area = (xy) m2. New length = ❨ 120 x ❩m = ❨ 6 x ❩m. 100 5 New breadth = ❨ 120 y ❩m = ❨ 6 y ❩m. 100 5 New Area = ❨ 6 x x 6 y ❩m2 = ❨ 36 xy ❩m2. 5 5 25 The difference between the original area = xy and new-area 36/25 xy is = (36/25)xy - xy = xy(36/25 - 1) = xy(11/25) or (11/25)xy ∴ Increase % = ❨ 11 xy x 1 x 100 ❩% = 44%
