The length, breadth and height of a room are l, b and h, respectively. The perimeter of the ceiling expressed as a percentage of the total area of the four walls, is ?

1. 100h%
2. 100/h%
3. h%
4. h/100%

Correct Option: B

Total area of four walls = 2h(l + b)
Perimeter of the celling = 2l + 2b = 2(l + b)
Perimeter of the ceiling in percentage = 2(l +b ) x 100/2h(l + b) %
= 100/h %
