    B 189 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 143 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 169 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If there is a requirement of minimum number of tiles, we must take the maximum size of the side. The side of square tile required to tile a floor of length 209cm & 247cm =HCF (209,247) =19cm. So area of 1 square tile = 19cm ├Ч19cm & Area of the floor = 209cm├Ч247cm. So number of tiles = Area of floor/ area of 1 tile = (209cm├Ч247cm)/(19cm ├Ч19cm) = 11├Ч13 =143.
