A house is to be constructed which will have a master bedroom, a guest room, a children room, a kitchen, a drawing room, a living room and bathrooms attached to the master bedroom and the drawing room.

Explanation

Rooms to be painted with Plastic Paint's are Kitchen and the two bathrooms. Hence, total cost of plastic paint = Paint cost of Kitchen + Paint cost of two bathrooms. = Rs.60480 + Rs.100800 = Rs.161280.Rooms to be painted with rich textured emulsion paint's are Master Bedroom, Guest room, Children room, Drawing room and living room. Hence, total cost of rich textured emulsion paint = Paint cost of Master bedroom + Paint cost of Guest room + Paint cost of children room + Paint cost of Drawing room + Paint cost of living room. = Rs.211680 + Rs.188160 + Rs.164640 + Rs.235200 + Rs.203840 = Rs.1003520.So, the ratio of expenditure on Plastic Paint to Rich textured emulsion paint = 161280:1003520 = 9:56.
