Explanation

The original carpet's length is 1.44 times the width: 1.44 × 6 = 8.64 meters. The new carpet's length is increased by 40%, so length = 8.64 × 1.40 = 12.096 meters. The width is increased by 25%, so width = 6 × 1.25 = 7.5 meters. The area of the new carpet is 12.096 × 7.5 = 90.72 square meters. At Rs. 45 per square meter, the total cost is 90.72 × 45 = Rs. 4082.40.
