To find the breadth of the room given the cost of carpeting, the cost per square meter, and the length of the room, let's break down the problem step by step.
1. Identify the given data:
- Cost per square meter of carpeting: Rs. 50
- Total cost of carpeting: Rs. 1000
- Length of the room: 5 meters
2. Calculate the total area of the room:
- Total cost = Cost per square meter × Total area
- [tex]\( \text{Total area} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Cost per square meter}} \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Total area} = \frac{1000}{50} = 20 \text{ square meters} \)[/tex]
3. Calculate the breadth of the room:
- Area = Length × Breadth
- Therefore, Breadth = Area / Length
- Breadth = [tex]\( \frac{20}{5} = 4 \text{ meters} \)[/tex]
Thus, the breadth of the room is 4 meters.
Answer:
b. 4 m
