The length of a rectangular floor is more than its breadth by 200%. If Rs. 324 is required to paint the floor at the rate of Rs. 3 per sq m, then what would be the length of the floor?

A. 27 m
B. 24 m
C. 18 m
D. 21 m

Let the length and the breadth of the floor be l m and b m respectively.

l = b + 200% of b = l + 2b = 3b
Area of the floor = 324/3 = 108 sq m
l b = 108 i.e., l * l/3 = 108
l2 = 324 => l = 18.

Correct Answer: 18 m ✔
