Solution
Given that
Length of room = 12m.
Let height of room be ‘h’ m.
Area of 4 walls = 2 (l + b)x h
According to question
`⇒2(l+b)xxhxx1.35=340.20`
`⇒2(12+b)xxhxx1.35=340.20`
`⇒(12+b)xxh=(170.10)/1.35=126 .......(1)`
Also area of floor = l x b
`∴lxxbxx0.85=91.80`
`⇒12xxbxx0.85 = 91.80`
`⇒b=9m`
Substituting b= 9m in equation (1)
`⇒(12+9)xxh=126`
`⇒h=6m`
