Stream of consciousness rationale: Area of tile = 25*65 = 1625
Area of floor = 150*390 = 58500
No of tiles = 58500/1625 = 36
So, the no of tile = 36
The question and answer pair are described below.
Q: Rectangular tile each of size 25cm by 65cm must be laid horizontally on a rectangular floor of size 150cm by 390cm,such that the tiles do not overlap and they are placed with edges jutting against each other on all edges. A tile can be placed in any orientation so long as its edges are parallel to the edges of floor. No tile should overshoot any edge of the floor. The maximum number of tiles that can be accommodated on the floor is:
