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 base = b and altitude = h Then, Area = b x h But New base = 110b / 100 = 11b / 10Let New altitude = HThen, Decrese = (h - 10h /11 )= h / 11? Required decrease per cent = (h/11) x (1 / h ) x 100 %= 91/11 %
