Question What is the cost of tiling a rectangular plot of land 500 m long and 200 m wide at the rate of ₹ 8 per hundred sq m?
Length of rectangular plot = 500 m
Breadth of rectangular plot = 200 m
Area of rectangular plot = 500 m × 200 m = 1,00,000 sq m
The cost of tiling the plot is given ₹ 8 per hundred sq m.
So, we will convert area into per hundred sq m
\(\frac{1,00,000}{100}\) = 1,000 (in hundred sq m)
The cost of tiling per hundred sq m = ₹ 8
∴ The cost of tiling rectangular plot = 1,000 × ₹ 8 = ₹ 8,000
