Let the width of the gravel path be xmetres. Then, Each side of the square flower bed is (44−2x) metres
Now, Area of the square field 44×44=1936m2
Area of the flower bed =(44−2x)2m2
Area of the gravel path= Area of the field - Area of the flower bed
=1936−(44−2x)2=1936−(1936−176x+4x2)=(176−4x2)m2
Cost of laying the flower bed=Area of the flower bed × Rate per sq.m
=(44−2x)2×100275=411(44−2x)2=11(22−x)2
Cost of gravelling the path = Area of the path × Rate per sq. m
=(176x−4x2)100150=6(44−x2)
It is given that the total cost of laying the flower bed and gravelling the path is Rs. 4904
∴11(22−x)2+6(44x−x2)=4904
⇒5x2−220x+5324=4908
⇒5x2−220x+420=0⇒x2−44x+84=0⇒x2−42x−2x+84=0
⇒(x−2)(x−42)=0⇒x=2orx=42
But x=42 as the side of the square is 44m. therefore, x=2
Hence the width of the gravel path is 2metres
