    The number of paving stones, each measuring 10 dm by 9 dm required to pave a rectangular veranda 60 m by 6 m is _________.

    A)  360

    B)  400

    C)  350

    D)  300

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Area of each paving stone \[=(10\times 9)\text{ }d{{m}^{2}}\text{ }=\text{ }90\text{ }d{{m}^{2}}\] Now, length of veranda = 60 m = 600 dm Breadth of veranda = 6 m = 60 dm \[\therefore \]Area of veranda \[\text{= (600  }\!\!\times\!\!\text{  60) d}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\] \[\text{=36000 d}{{\text{m}}^{\text{2}}}\] \[\therefore \] Required number of paving stones \[=\frac{36000}{90}=400\]
