उत्तर
(i)
Length of hall (l) = 18 m and breadth (b) = 13.5 m
∴ Area of the floor = l × b
=`18 xx 13.5 "m"^2 = 243.0 "m"^2`
Side of each square tiles (a) = 25 cm
= `25/100 = 1/4`m
∴ Area of one tile = a2 = `1/4 xx 1/4`
= `1/16 "m"^2`
No. of tiles required = `243 + 1/16`
= `(243 xx 16)/1 = 3888`
Rate of tiles = Rs. 6 per tile
∴ Total cost = Rs. 3888 × 6
= Rs. 23328
(ii)
Width of margin left in side = 1.5 m
∴ Inner length = `18 - 2 xx 1.5 = 18 - 3 = 15` m
and breath = `13.5 - 2 xx 1.5 = 13.5 - 3`
= 10.5 m
∴ Inner area = `15 xx 10.5 "m"^2`
= 157.5 m2
∴ No. of tiles = 157.5 + `1/16`
= `157.5 xx 16 = 2520`
∴ Cost of tiles = 2520 × 6 = Rs. 15120
