The cost of ploughing a circular field at the rate of Rs 0.75 per m2 is Rs.4158. Find the cost of fencing the field at the rate of Rs.30 per metre. |

Answer» Let radius of circular field be rm. ∴ Area of circular field is π r2m2. ∴ Cost of ploughing circular field at the rate of Rs 0.75 per m2 = πr2x Rs 0.75 = Rs (3/4 πr2)m2 ∴ 3/4 πr2 = 4158 (∵ Given cost = Rs 4158) = r2 = 4158 x 4/3 x 7/22 ( ∵ π = 22/7) = r2 = 63 x 4 x 7 = 9 x 7 x 4 x7 = 32 x 22 x 72 = (3x2x7)2 = 422 = r = 42 m ∴ Perimeter of circular field is P = 2 πr = 2 x 22/7 x 42 = 264 m ∴ Cost of fencing the field = Rs 30 per meter ∴ Cost of fencing the circular field = Rs (264 x 30) = Rs 7920 |
