Area Problems
The cost of cultivating a square field at the rate of Rs. 160 per hectare is Rs. 1440. the cost of putting a fence around it at 75 paisa per meter is?
Area = 1440 / 160 hectares = 9 hectares = 90000 m2? One side = ?90000 m = 300 mSo perimeter = 4 x 300 m = 1200 m ? Cost of fencing = Rs (1200 x 75) / 100= Rs. 900
let original radius = r and new radius = (50/100) r = r/2 original area = ?r 2 and new area = ? r / 2 2 decrease in area = 3 ?r 2 / 4 * 1 ?r 2 *100 = 75%
Original area = ?(d/2)2= (?d2) / 4New area = ?(2d/2)2= ?d2Increase in area = (?d2 - ?d2/4)= 3?d2/4? Required increase percent = [(3?d2)/4 x 4/(?d2) x 100]%= 300%
Let each side of the square be a. Then, area = . a 2 New side = 125 a 100 = 5 a 4 . New area = 5 a 4 2 = 25 a 2 16 Increase in area = 25 a 2 16 - a 2 = 9 a 2 16 Increase% = 9 a 2 16 * 1 a 2 * 100 % = 56.25%.
