Method of Solution:→
→ Length of Garden = 120 metres ✔
→ Breadth of Garden=85 metres✔
Now, According to the Question's Statement!
→ It has an inside path of uniform width 3.5m all around it!→
→ Thus, Length of portion covered by grass = 120 - (3.5+3.5)
= 120-(7)
= 113 metres✔
→ So, Breadth of portion covered by grass = 85-(3.5+3.5)
=85-7
= 78metres✔
→ Area of Portion covered by grass = (113×78) = 8814m²
→ Now, cost of covering the garden by grass at 50 paise per square metre = 8814×0.5= Rs. 4407 ✔
→ Therefore, Required cost covering the garden by grass = Rs 4407.✔
Breadth =78
Therefore, Area = 113×78 = 8814 metres
