Question 25

Question:
A rectangular lawn 60 × 40m2 has two roads each 5m wide running between the park. One is parallel to length and other is parallel to width. Cost of gravelling is 60 paise/m2. Find the total cost of gravelling?

Options:
A) Rs.285
B) Rs.300
C) Rs.275
D) Rs.270
E) None of these
Solution:

Area of path = x(l + b – x) 

= 5(60 + 40 – 5)

= 5 × 95 = 475 m2

∴ Total cost = 475 × \(\cfrac{60}{100 }\) = Rs.285
