ANS D

Q says cost is proportional to length^2 and thickness

So, C = kL^2*T, where C = cost, k is a constant, L length and T thickness

Stmt 1 - C1 = K*2^2*0.2, C2=K*2^2*0.1

C1-C2 = 160. Solve to get the value of K.... then we can calculate the value of slab given in the question .. SUFF

Stmt 2 has same logic..... SUFF
