The floor of a square room of side 4 metres is to be paved with Onyx tiles of size 16 cm × 20 cm. The number of such tiles to be required are:
1). 250
2). 500
3). 2000
4). 200
According to the given information,
Area of one Onyx Tile = 16 × 20 = 320 cm2
Area of square room = (side)2 = (4)2 = 16 m2 = 160000 cm2
Number of Onyx tiles required = (Area of square room)/(Area of each Onyx tile)
= 160000/320 = 500
∴ 500 Onyx tiles are required to cover the required square floor.
