Best answer

Length of room = 4.9 m

Breadth of room = 3.5 m

Margin = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Breadth of carpet = 80 cm = 0.8 m

Cost = ₹ 80 per meter

Now,

Length to be carpeted = 4.9 m – (0.25 + 0.25) m = 4.4 m

Breadth to be carpeted = 3.5 m – (0.25 + 0.25) m = 3 m

Therefore,

Area to be carpeted = Length to be carpeted X Breadth to be carpeted

= 4.4 × 3

= 13.2 m2

Area of carpet = Area to be carpeted = 13.2 m2

Now,

Lengthof carpet = (area of carpet) / (breadth of carpet) = 13.2/0.8 = 16.5

Length of carpet is 16.5 m

Now,

Cost of 1 m carpet = ₹ 80

Therefore,

Cost of 16.5 m carpet = ₹ 80 × 16.5 m = ₹1,320
