Length = 60m
Breadth = 40m
width = 2 m
So, by using formula of area of rectangle
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
Area of path = Area of outer rectangle - Area of inner rectangle
Length of inner rectangle = Actual length - 2(width of path)
Breadth of inner rectangle = Actual Breadth - 2(width of path)
Length of inner rectangle = 60 - 2(2) = 56m
Breadth of inner rectangle = 40-2(2) = 36m
hence , Area of path = (60×40) - (56×36) = 2400 - 2016 = 384m²
Now, cost of gravelling is = Rs. 11 / m²
hence , Total cost = 384×11 = Rs.4224 (Ans)
