Question 2 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? To find cost, we need to first find Area Area of Rectangular Plot Length of rectangular plot = l = 500 m Breadth of rectangular plot = b = 200 m Area of rectangular plot = l × b = 500 × 200 = 1,00,000 m2 Now, given that Tilling happens at the rate of Rs 8 per hundred sq m. Thus, we can write Cost of tiling 100 sq. m = ₹ 8 Cost of tiling 1 sq. m = ₹ 𝟖/𝟏𝟎𝟎 Cost of tiling 1,00,000 sq. m = ₹ 𝟖/𝟏𝟎𝟎 × 1,00,000 = ₹ 8 × 1000 = ₹ 8,000 ∴ It will cost ₹ 8,000
