A room whose length is 40% more than the breadth. The Perimeter of the floor of the room is 96 cm and the height of the room is 4/7 of the length of the room. If there is whitewashing in the room, the cost of whitewash is Rs.50 per cm2. Find the total cost in the whitewash of the whole room except the floor.
A room whose length is 40% more than the breadth. The Perimeter of the floor of the room is 96 cm and the height of the room is 4/7 of the length of the room. If there is whitewashing in the room, the cost of whitewash is Rs.50 per cm2. Find the total cost in the whitewash of the whole room except the floor. Correct Answer Rs.104800
Let the breadth of the room be x
So, length = 7x/5
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (L + B)
⇒ 96 = 2
⇒ 48 = 12x/5
⇒ x = 20
Breadth of the room = 20 cm
Length of the room = 28 cm
Height of the room = (4/7) of 28 = (4/7) × 28 =16 cm
Area of the whitewashing in the room = Area of four wall + Area of roof
⇒ Area = 2 × (L + B) × H + (L × B)
⇒ Area = 2 × (28 + 20) × 16 + 28 × 20
⇒ Area = 1536 + 560 = 2096 cm2
⇒ Cost per cm2 = Rs.50
∴ Total cost in the whitewashing = 50 × 2096 = Rs.1,04,800
