Question

What is the cost of tiling a rectangle plot of land 500m long and 200m wide at the rate of 8 per hundred sq m​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = length × breadth

Area of rectangular plot = 500m × 200m

= 100000m²

Rate of tiling the plot = 8 per 100m²

per 1 m² = 8/100

for 100000m² = (100000m²) × 8/100

= 8000

Answer 2

Tilling or ploughing is done on the total surface of the rectangular field. So, here it is required to find the area of the plot.

⇒ Area of the rectangular plot = Length × Breadth

⇒ Area of the rectangular plot = 200 m × 500 m

⇒ Area of the rectangular plot = 100000 m²

Also,

⇒ Rate of tilling 1 m² = ₹ 8

⇒ Rate of tilling 100000 m² = ₹ 8 × 100000

⇒ Rate of tilling 100000 m² = ₹ 800000

Therefore, the cost of tiling a rectangle plot of land is ₹ 800000.
