The floor of a rectangular hall has a perimeter 250 m. If the cost of painting the four walls at the rate of Rs 10 per m2 is Rs 15,000, find the height of the hall.

Answer»

Perimeter of the floor of hall = 250 m …(1) 

Cost of painting the four walls = Rs 15000 … (2) 

Let h be the required height, l and b are length and breadth of the rectangular hall. 

∴ Area of four walls = A = 2(1 + b) x h = {2(1 + b) } x h = (Perimeter of the floor) x h 

A = 250 h m2 

Cost of painting of area 1 m2 = Rs 10 

Total cost of painting 250 h m2 = (250 h x 10) = 2500 h. 

2500 h = 15,000 

=> h = 15,000/2500 = 6m 

Hence the required height of the hall = 6m
