A farmer's land is in the shape of a trapezium which has its parallel sides measuring 6.32 yards and 7.68 yards and the distance between the parallel sides is 5.50 yards. The cost of ploughing the land is Rs 1200 per square yard. What amount have to be spend in order to plough the entire land? |
Rs 36600 Rs 32500 Rs 55400 Rs 46200 |
Rs 46200 |
Area of a trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ (sum of parallel sides) x height The area of land = $\frac{1}{2}$ (6.32 + 7.68) x 5.50 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x 14 x 5.50 = 38.5 yards square Cost of ploughing this land = Area x cost of ploughing per square yard = 38.5 x 1200 = Rs 46,200 |
