A circular grassy plot of land, 42 m in diameter, has a path 3.5 m wide running around it outside. The cost of gravelling the path at Rs 4 per square metre is
As per the given question,
The area of the outer path = Area of outer circle - Area of inner circle
$$\Rightarrow \pi r_{1}^{2} - \pi r_{2}^{2}$$
$$\Rightarrow \pi (24.5^{2} - 21^{2})$$
$$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} (600.25 - 441)$$
$$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} (159.25) = 500.5$$
The cost of gravelling the path at Rs 4 per square metre = $$500.5 \times 4 = 2002$$
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
