a rectangular plot 25m 5dm long and 24m 4dm wide has a gravel walk 1.5

1.	a rectangular plot 25m 5dm long and 24m 4dm wide has a gravel walk 1.5 metres wide all round it on the outside. find the cost of laying the grass on the path at the rate of rupees 8 per square metre
Answer» ANSWER: Given: LENGTH of the plot = 125 m Breadth of the plot = 78 m Area of plot ABCD=Length×Breadth =125×78 =9750m Length of the plot including the path =(125+3+3)m=131m Breadth of the plot including the path =(78+3+3)m=84m Now, Area of plot PQRS including the path = Length×Breadth=(131*84) =11004m Area of path = Area of plot PQRS − Area of plot ABCD=11004-9750 =1254m COST of gravelling =RS 75 per m Cost of gravelling the whole path =RS (1254×75)=RS 94050 Hence, cost of gravelling the path is RS 94050. solution

Answer»

Given:

LENGTH of the plot = 125 m

Breadth of the plot = 78 m

Area of plot ABCD=Length×Breadth

=125×78

=9750m

Length of the plot including the path =(125+3+3)m=131m

Breadth of the plot including the path =(78+3+3)m=84m

Now,

Area of plot PQRS including the path =

Length×Breadth=(131*84)

=11004m

Area of path = Area of plot PQRS − Area of plot ABCD=11004-9750

=1254m

COST of gravelling =RS 75 per m

Cost of gravelling the whole path =RS (1254×75)=RS 94050

Hence, cost of gravelling the path is RS 94050.
