The cost of fencing a square field @ Rs. 20 per metre is Rs.10.080.How much will it cost to lay a three meter wide pavement along the fencing inside the field @ Rs. 50 per sq m
Options- A. 53800
- B. 43800
- C. 83800
- D. 73800
- Correct Answer
- 73800
Explanationperimeter = total cost / cost per m = 10080 /20 = 504m
side of the square = 504/4 = 126m
breadth of the pavement = 3m
side of inner square = 126 - 6 = 120m
area of the pavement = (126 x126) - (120 x 120) = 246 x 6 sq m
cost of pavement = 246*6*50 = Rs. 73800 - 1. A rectangular lawn 55m by 35m has two roads each 4m wide running in the middle of it. One parallel to the length and the other parallel to breadth. The cost of graveling the roads at 75 paise per sq meter is

Correct Answer: rs.258
Explanation:
area of cross roads = (55 x 4) + (35 x 4)- (4 x 4) = 344sq m
cost of graveling = 344 x (75/100) = Rs. 258
Correct Answer: 220/7 min
Explanation:
speed = 12 km/h =
distance covered =
time taken = distance /speed =
Correct Answer: b=6; l=18; H=6
Explanation:
Let breadth = x metres, length = 3x metres, height = H metres.
Area of the floor=(Total cost of carpeting)/(Rate) = (270/5) sq.m = 54 sq.m
So, breadth = 6 m and length = = 9 m.
Now, papered area = (1720/10) = 172 sq.m
Area of 1 door and 2 windows = 8 sq.m
Total area of 4 walls = (172 + 8) sq.m = 180 sq.m
Correct Answer: Only statement A is required
Explanation:
From statement (A),
20b = (1/2) × b × h
h = 40 cm.
Correct Answer: 34 cm
Explanation:
Let the side of the square be 's' cm
length of rectangle = (s+5) cm
breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm
(s+5) (s-3) =
- 5s - 3s - 15 =
2s = 15
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s?3) = 2(2s + 2)
= 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm
Correct Answer: Rs.16500
Explanation:
Area = 5.5 × 3.75 sq. metre.
Cost for 1 sq. metre. = Rs. 800
Hence total cost = 5.5 × 3.75 × 800 = 5.5 × 3000 = Rs. 16500
Correct Answer: 2520
Explanation:
We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103.
Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40.
Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) = 2520 sq.m
Correct Answer: 84
Explanation:
Let inner radius be r metres. Then, 2 r = 440 ; r = = 70 m.
Radius of outer circle = (70 + 14) m = 84 m.
Correct Answer: 20cm
Explanation:
Let the breadth of the given rectangle be x then length is 2x.
thus area of the given rect is
after dec 5cm from length and inc 5cm breadth , new lenght becomes 2x-5 and breadth is x+5.thus new area =(2x-5)(x+5)=
since new area is 75 units greater than original area thus
5x=75+25
5x=100
therefore x=20
hence length of the rectangle is 40 cm.
Correct Answer: 20 m
Explanation:
Let breadth=x meters. Then, Length = meters
Given that,
=> x = 20
Breadth = 20
