Question:

The area of square field is 2025 m2.  The breadth of a rectangular park is \(\frac{1}{3}\)rd of the side of the square field and its length is two times of its breadth.  What is the cost (in Rs) of leveling the park at Rs 29.5 per m2?

Options:

12975

13575

13275

13425

Correct Answer:

13275

Explanation:

side of square (a) = \(\sqrt {2025}\) = 45 m2

Breadth of rectangle = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × 45 = 15 m

Length of rectangle = 15 × 2 = 30 m

Area of rectangular park  = 30 × 15 = 450 m2

Cost of leveling the park = 450 × 29.5 = Rs.13275
