A veranda 40 meters long 15 meters broad is to paved with stones each measuring 6 dm by 5 dm. the number of stones required is?

Correct Answer: 2000

Explanation:

Length = (40 x 10 ) dm = 400 dm.
Breadth = (15 x 10 ) dm = 150 dm.
Area of veranda = (400 x 150 ) dm2
Area of one stone = (6 x 5 ) dm2
∴ Required number of stones = (400 x 150) /(6 x 5) = 2000
