Question

There is a narrow rectangular plot, reserved for a school, in Mahuli village. The
length and breadth of the plot are in the ratio 11:4. At the rate 100 per metre it will
cost the village panchayatz 75000 to fence the plot. What are the dimensions of
the plot?​

Answer 1

Let the length and breadth of a rectangular plot be 11x and 4x

Perimeter =2(11x+4x)=30x

Cost of fencing at Rs. 100 per metre = Rs. 75,000 to fence the plot.

So, perimeter =75000÷100=750

So, 30x=750

x=25

So, length =11x=275m

Breadth =4x=100 m

Answer 2

Given:

•  The Length and Breadth of a rectangular plot are in the ratio of  11:4. & the rate of ₹100 per m it'll cost ₹75000 to fence the plot.

To find: 

• The dimensions of the plot?

Solution:

❍ Let's say, that the Length and Breadth of the plot be 11x and 4x respectively.

 PERIMETER:

Fencing of the plot requires four sides of the plot. Therefore, we've to find out the perimeter of the rectangular plot.

As we know that, Perimeter is Given by sum of its all sides. i.e. (a + b + c + d). So, Let's Solve —

⠀

$\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf Perimeter = 11x + 4x + 4x + 11x\\\\\\:\implies\sf Perimeter = 22x + 8x\\\\\\:\implies \underline {\boxed {\frak{ Perimeter = 30x}} } \blue\bigstar\\\\\end{gathered}$

• Perimeter is 30x.

⠀

Now,

Cost of Fencing

At the rate of 100 per metre, it'll cost the village to fence the rectangular plot at ₹75000.

Required Formula:

$\begin{gathered}\;\underline{\boxed{ \frak{\frak{ \color{navy}{Cost_{\;(fencing)} = Perimeter \times Rate}}}}} \ \orange\bigstar\\\\\end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf 75000 = 30x \times 100 \\\\\\:\implies\sf 75000 = 3000x\\\\\\:\implies\sf x = \cancel\dfrac{75000}{3000}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\frak{{x = 25}}}} \pink\bigstar\end{gathered}$

Therefore,

• Length of the plot, 11x = 11(25) = 275 meters
• Breadth of the plot, 4x = 4(25) = 100 meters

⠀

${\underline{\textsf{Hence, the dimensions of the rectangular plot are \textbf{275 m, 100 m} respectively.}}}$

Thank you!!
