No. of tiles required to cover the wall = Area of wall/ Area of one tile
Substituting the values
No. of tiles required to cover the wall = 120000/120 = 1000 tiles
It is given that
Cost of one tile = Rs 2
So the cost of 1000 tiles = 1000 × 2 = Rs 2000
Hence, 1000 number of tiles are required to cover the wall and the cost is Rs 2000.
13. One side of a square plot is 250 m, find the cost of levelling it at the rate of Rs 2 per square metre.
Solution:
It is given that
Side of one tile of a square plot = 250 m
So the area = side × side = 250 × 250 = 62500 m
2
Cost of levelling = Rs 2 per square meter
So the cost of levelling 62500 m
2
= 62500 × 2 = Rs 125000
Hence, the cost of levelling is Rs 125000.
