Given:
Length of the field=200m
Width of the field=60m
Length of the field with path
=(200+5+5)m=210m
Width of the field with path
=(60+5+5)m=70m
Area of field
=Length×Width=200×60=12000m2
Area of the field with path= Length×Width=210×70=14700m2
Now, area of the path=Area of the field with path−Area of field
=(14700−12000)m2=2700m2
Cost of consructing 1m2 of path=Rs15
Cost of cnstructing 2700m2 of path
=Rs15×2700=Rs40500
