    A) 350      

    B)               250

    C) 450      

    D) 495

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Explanation \[\operatorname{I} = 378 cm and b = 525 cm\] Maximum length of a square tile \[= HCF of \left( 378, 525 \right) = 21 cm\] \[378\,\,\times \,\,525\] Number of tiles \[=\,\,\frac{378\times 525}{21\,\,\times \,\,21} = \left( 18\,\times  25 \right) = 450.\]
