ANSWER
Cost of levelling =Rs.15 per square meter
Let A be the area of lawn.
Therefore,
Cost of levelling lawn =15×A=Rs.19,935(Given)
⇒A=
15
19935
=1329m

As we know that,
Area of square =a
2
Here a is the edge length of square.
Since, lawn is in square form.
Therefore,
Side length of square (a)=
A
=
1329
=36.45m
Perimeter of square =4a=4×36.45=145.82m
Now,
Cost of fencing =Rs.22 per meter
Therefore,
Cost of fencing lawn =22×145.82≈Rs.3208
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x+5x)×2=3200
16x=3200
x=200
length =5×x
=1000th
breath=3×x
=600m
area = l×b
= (1000×600)
=600000=6×10^5
cost = 6×10^6
