Solution
Let the length be 4x and breadth be 3 x
Height = 5.5m [given]
Now it is given that cost of decorating 4 walls at the rate of `Rs 6.601 m^2` is `Rs. 5082 `
⇒ Area of four walls x rate = total cost of painting
`2(l+b)xxhxx6.60=5082`
`2(4x+3x)xx5.5xx6.60=5082`
`⇒7x= (5082)/(5.5xx2.6xx2)`
`⇒7x = 10`
`⇒x=10`
Length= 4x = 4 x 10 = 40m
Breadth = 3x = 3 x 10 = 30m
