Question

The total cost of painting the walls of a room is Rs 475. Find the cost of painting the walls of another room whose length, breadth and height each are double than the dimensions of the previous room. 

  • A) Rs 1780
  • B) Rs 1900
  • C) Rs 1846
  • D) Rs 1960
  • E) Rs 1600
Solution

B) Rs 1900
Explanation: 

Area of first room = 2(l+b)*h
After all dimensions doubled, new area = 2(2l+2b)*2h = 4[2(l+b)*h ] = 4 times previous area, so cost of painting = 4*475

B) Rs 1900
Explanation: 

Area of first room = 2(l+b)*h
After all dimensions doubled, new area = 2(2l+2b)*2h = 4[2(l+b)*h ] = 4 times previous area, so cost of painting = 4*475
