Question

A path of uniform width of 1.5m runs around the border of a rectangular garden of 55m long and 30m wide. Calculate the cost of laying the stone slab in the pathway at rate of Rs 30 per m.sq

Answer 1

Length of garden =55m

Breadth of garden= 30m

Perimeter of garden=2×(L+B)

=2×(55+30)m

=2×85m

=200m

Hence, Cost of stone slab in the pathway = Rs 30×1.5m

=Rs 40 per m sq
