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

Rate of fencing per meter = ₹100

Total cost of fencing = ₹75000

Perimeter of the plot = 2(l+b) = 2(11x + 4x) = 2×15x = 30x

Total amount

of fencing = (30x × 100)

According to the question,

(30x × 100) = 75000

⇒ 3000x = 75000

\Rightarrow x=\frac{75000}{3000}⇒x=

3000

75000

⇒ x = 25

Length of the plot = 11x = 11×25 = 275m

Breadth of the plot = 4x = 4×25 = 100m

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:

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

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

Therefore,

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

⠀

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