Question

A rectangular plot of land measuring 95 m by 72 m , inside the plot b a path of uniform width of 3.5 m is to be constructed all around. The rest of the plot is to be laid with grass . Find the cost of constructing path at rs 80 per sq m and rs 40 per sq m forlaying the grass

Answer 1

Answer:

Total Cost Of Constructing Path = Rs. 45,780

Total Cost Forlaying The Grass = Rs. 2,50,710

Step-by-step explanation:

Area Of Rectangular Plot = 95*72

= 6840

Total Area Of Covered Grass = (95-3.5)*(72-3.5) = 6267.75

Total Area Of Path = (Total Area Of Plot - Total Area Of Covered Grass)

= 6840 - 6267.75

= 572.25

Total Cost Of Constructing Path = Total Area Of Path * Cost Of Path per Sq. m

= 572.25 * 80

= Rs. 45,780

Total Cost Forlaying The Grass = Area Of Covered Grass * Cost Of Forlaying The Grass

= 6267.75 * 40

= Rs. 2,50,710
