What is the cost of flooring the rectangular hall?

I. Length and the breadth of the hall are in the ratio of 3:2

II. Length of the hall is 48 m and cost of flooring is ₹ 850 Per sq.m.

III. Perimeter of the hall is 160 m and cost of flooring is ₹ 850 per sq m

A) I and II B) I and III
C) Only III D) I and either II or III
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

From I and II,
Length = 3x = 48 m
∴ x = 16
Breath = 2x = 32 m
Hence, Area of floor = 48 × 32
Cost of flooring = 48 × 32 × 850 = ₹ 1305600
From I and III, 2(l +b) = 160
2(3x + 2x) = 160
10x = 160
∴ x = 16
∴ Length = 3 × 16 = 48 m
Breadth = 2x = 32m
Cost of flooring = (48 × 32) × 850 = ₹ 1305600
Similarly, from II and III, we can find
l = 48 m
b = 32 m
and Total cost of flooring = ₹ 1305600
