    The floor of a hall measures \[20\,m\]by \[20\,m\]. A carpet is placed on the floor from wall to wall. What is the cost of the carpet if \[1\,{{m}^{2}}\] of costs \[Rs.\,50\]and for every \[1{{m}^{2}}\]of carper laid, \[\frac{1}{5}\,{{m}^{2}}\] of carpet material is wasted in cutting and laying?

    A)  \[Rs.\,25000\]

    B)  \[Rs.\,20000\]

    C)  \[Rs.16000\]               

    D)  \[Rs.12000\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a): Effectively, \[\frac{4}{5}\,{{m}^{2}}\] costs \[Rs.50\] \[\therefore \] cost of \[400\,{{m}^{2}}\,(20\times 20)\] \[=\frac{Rs.\,\,50\times 5}{4}\times 400=25000\]
