Perimeter= 2(l+b)
Let the perimeter of 1st room be => 2(L1+B1) = 60
=> (L1+B1) = 30 -----(1)
Let the perimeter of 2nd room be => 2(L2+B2) = 140
=> (L2+B2) = 70 -----(2)
Let the perimeter of 3rd room be => 2(L3+B3) = 100
=> (L3+B3) = 50 -----(3)
Let the perimeter of 4th room be => 2(L4+B4) = 80
=> (L4+B4) = 40 -----(4)
Now (L1+B1)+(L2+B2)+(L3+B3)+(L4+B4) Are the corners or the sum of edge of first floor.
30+70+50+40=190
Answer is E

When you add the perimeter of all the rooms, we add the internal wall twice, so we will have to subtract the length of internal wall from the total, and that is nothing but length and breadth of complete floor.
Length=x+y=x+p+q
Breadth=a+b
So the total perimeter =\( I+II+III+IV=2(x+a)+2(b+(x+p)+2(a+y)+2(q+b)\)
\(=2(x+a+b+(x+p)+a+y+q+b)\)
\(=2(x+y+b+q+p+a+b+a+b)=2(2L+2B)=2(2(L+B))\)
=> \(60+140+100+80=380 =2(2(L+B))....2(L+B)=190\)
