Length of the wall = 4 m = 400 cm
Breadth of the wall = 3 m = 300 cm
Area of the wall = (400×300) cm2 = 120000 cm2

Length of the tile = 12 cm
Breadth of the tile = 10 cm
Area of one tile = (12×10) cm2 = (120) cm2

Cost of 1 tile = Rs 22.50
Cost of 1000 tiles = (1000 × 22.50) = Rs 22500

Thus, the total cost of the tiles is Rs 22500.

= 242 cm

In 1 revolution, the wheel covers a distance equal to its circumference.
∴ Distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution = 242 cm
∴ Distance covered by the wheel in 500 revolutions = ( 500 × 242 ) cm
= 121000 cm       (100 cm =1 m)
= 1210 m

#### Question 8:

Find the diameter of a wheel whose circumference is 176 cm.
