Cost of ploughing at the rate of Rs. 10 per m2 is Rs. 1,540. Find theradius of the circular field.

Answer»

Cost of ploughing = total area x cost of poulghing per 1 ( or given ) metre .

In the given question,

Cost of ploughing per metre= Rs 10 per m^2

Cost of ploughing the whole area = Rs 1540

= > Total area x Rs 10 / m^2 = Rs 1540

= > Total area = Rs 1540 / Rs 10 m^2

= > Total area = 154 m^2

As the given field is circular in shape, it's area should be πr^2.

Let the radius of the field be a,

Area of the field = 154 m^2 ( from above )

= > ( 22 / 7 ) x a^2 = 154 m^2

= > a^2 = 154 x 7 / 22 m^2

= > a^2 = 7 x 7 m^2

= > a^2 = 7^2 m^2

= > a = 7 m

Hence the radius of the circular field = 7 m.
