Area Problems
A cost of cultivating a square field at a rate of ? 135 per hectare is ? 1215. The cost of putting a fence around it at the rate of 75 paise per meter wouldbe
Area of the field =1215/135 = 9 hec= 90000 m2 [1 hec =10000 m2]? Side of the field = ?90000 = 300 mPerimeter of the field = 4 x 300 = 1200 mNow, cost of putting a fence around field = (1200 x 75)/100 = ? 900
? 22/7 x r2 = 13.86 x 10000? r2 = (13.86 x 10000 x 7) / 22? r = 210 m ? Circumference = [2 x (22/7) x 210 ] m = 1320 m Cost of fencing = Rs. (1320 x 20)/100= Rs . 264
