CLAT 2020 Quantitative Techniques: Mensuration

A room having the dimensions as mentioned in the chart below has a table, a bed and a chair. There are three books kept on the table (side by side) and also a lamp having radius, 3.5 inch. Now, on the basis of information given below answer the following?

Dimensions

Sr.No.	Object	Length	Breadth	Height
1	Room	18 feet	12 feet	12 feet
2	Bed	3.5 feet	6 feet	3 feet
3	Table	3 feet	4 feet	4 feet
4	Chair	2 feet	2.5 feet	4 feet
5	Books	12 inches	6 inches	3 inches

How many chairs can be put inside the room so as to cover the entire floor area of the room?

Let's expand the Dimensions table and add 2 more columns, Surface Area, and Volume.
Note: 1 Foot = 12 inches

DimensionsExpanded

Sr.No	Object	Length(l)	Breadth(b)	Height(h)	Floor Surface Area (l*b) in square feet	Volume (l*b*h) in cubic feet
1	Room	18	12	12	216	2592
2	Bed	3.5	6	3	21	63
3	Table	3	4	4	12	48
4	Chair	2	2.5	4	5	20
5	Books	1	0.5	0.25	0.5	0.125

Number of chairs that can be put inside the room  \(= \frac{Area of Room}{Area of chair} = \frac{216}{5} = 43.2\)
Only integral values hold good for 'number of chairs'
Hence, the answer is 43.
