Answer» Given :-Ramesh is PLANNING to buy a rectangular plot for constructing a bungalow. The length and breadth of the plot are in the ratio of 8:7. The COST of fencing the plot is Rs. 75000/- at the rate of Rs. 100 per meter. To FIND :-Dimensions of plot Solution :-Perimeter of plot = Cost/Rate Perimeter = 75000/100 Perimeter = 750 m Now, Let the length and breadth be 8x and 7X Perimeter = 2(l + b) 750 = 2(8x + 7x) 750/2 = 15x 375 = 15x 375/15 = x 25 = x Length = 8x = 8(25) = 200 Breadth = 7x = 7(25) = 175 m |
