Solution

Length of first diagonal = 45cm

Length of second diagonal = 30 cm

Then area of one tile = `1/2` × first diagonal × second diagonal = 12 × 45 × 30

= 675cm2

Thus, the area of 3000 tiles = 675 × 3000

= 2025000 cm

Hence, polishing expense = `2025000/10000`

= 202.50m2 

Since 1m2 = 10000 cm2

Given polishing cost of 1m2 = Rs 4

Then the cost of polishing is 202.50 m2

= 4 × 202.50

= Rs 810
