A house will have four walls...
papers used only for construction of walls!!!!

1st House: 4 *a (side) *h (height) * 10 = 60 =======> 4ah=6 --(1)

Given 10 paise reqd...per construction of 1 square meters


2nd House: 4*(a+5) (side)*h (height) * 10 = 80 =======> 4ah + 20h=8---(2)

Area formula will be horizontal side*vertical height
the plane of wall will be along it's height!..

Solving (1) & (2) we get 20h=2.
Hence, h=0.1m
