Rectangular Field — Cost to Grass Bed ⇒ Area ⇒ Length: Breadth is 25 m. Total cost for grass at ₹15 per m^2 is ₹12375. Find the length of the field (in metres).

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: 33 m

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Unit pricing per square metre allows recovery of area from total cost. With one dimension known, the other follows from area = length * breadth. Keeping currency and unit conversions straight is essential.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Breadth B = 25 m
  • Total cost = ₹12375; rate = ₹15 per m^2
  • Area A = cost / rate


Concept / Approach:
Compute area from cost and rate. Then length L = A / B. The rectangular field is assumed to be exactly covered (no wastage) and charged purely by area.



Step-by-Step Solution:

A = 12375 / 15 = 825 m^2.L = 825 / 25 = 33 m.Therefore, the length is 33 m.


Verification / Alternative check:

Area check: 33 * 25 = 825 m^2.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • 27, 30, 32, 36 yield areas not equal to 825 m^2 with breadth 25 m.


Common Pitfalls:

  • Dividing by rate instead of multiplying, or using breadth as 20/30 in error.


Final Answer:
33 m.
