Question

* A garden is 120 m long and 85 m wide. It has an inside path of uniform width 3.5 m
all around it. The remaining part of the garden is covered by grass. Find the cost of
covering the garden by grass at 50 paise per square metre.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Note:Here we subtract 7m from both the length and breadth of the outer rectangle because it is given that the width of the path is 3.5m all around so in the length there will be reduction in both the sides similarly in breadth. Hence we subtract 3.5+3.5=7m from the length and breadth.
