A) 1879 : 2527
B) 1887 : 2386
C) 1887 : 2527
D) 1829 : 2527
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
(c) Total cost of wooden flooring = \[Rs.\left( 23\times 29+13\times 17 \right)\times 170\] = \[Rs.\left( 667+221 \right)\times 170\] = Rs.150960 Total cost of marble flooring = \[Rs.\left( 14\times 13+21\times 13+29\times 21 \right)\times 190\] = \[\text{Rs}\text{.}\left( 182+273+609 \right)\times 190\] = Rs.202160 \[\therefore \] Required ratio = \[150960:202160\] = \[1887:2527\]
