1. **Problem statement:** We have a rectangular hall with a floor perimeter of 250 m. The cost of painting the four walls is 15000 at a rate of 10 per m². We need to find the height of the hall.
2. **Known values:**
- Perimeter of floor, $P = 250$ m
- Cost of painting, $C = 15000$
- Rate of painting per m², $r = 10$
3. **Formulas and concepts:**
- Perimeter of rectangle: $$P = 2(l + w)$$ where $l$ is length and $w$ is width.
- Area of four walls (lateral surface area): $$A = 2h(l + w)$$ where $h$ is height.
- Cost of painting: $$C = r \times A$$
4. **Step 1: Find $l + w$ from perimeter:**
$$250 = 2(l + w) \implies l + w = \frac{250}{2} = 125$$
5. **Step 2: Find area of four walls using cost and rate:**
$$C = r \times A \implies A = \frac{C}{r} = \frac{15000}{10} = 1500 \text{ m}^2$$
6. **Step 3: Use area formula to find height $h$:**
$$A = 2h(l + w) \implies 1500 = 2h \times 125$$
$$1500 = 250h \implies h = \frac{1500}{250} = 6$$
**Final answer:** The height of the hall is $6$ meters.
