Length of carpet = Total Cost / Rate
= 3600 / 30
= 120 m
Area of carpet = (120 x 75) / 100 m2
= 90 m2
∴ Area of the room = 90 m2Correct Option: A
Length of carpet = Total Cost / Rate
= 3600 / 30
= 120 m
Area of carpet = (120 x 75) / 100 m2
= 90 m2
∴ Area of the room = 90 m2
Breadth of the room = Area /Length
= 90 / 15 m
= 6m

Let length = l and breadth = b
Then, area = lb
New length = 2l
and new breadth = b/2
∴ New area = ( 2l ) x (b/2) = lbCorrect Option: C
Let length = l and breadth = b
Then, area = lb
New length = 2l
And new breadth = b/2
∴ New area = ( 2l ) x (b/2) = lb
So, there is no change in area .

Altitude = √(13)2 - (5)2
= √144 = 12mCorrect Option: C
Altitude = √(13)2 - (5)2
= √144 = 12m
∴ Area of the triangle = (5 x 12 ) / 2 m2
= 30m2
