Question 62

In a circular garden of radius 15 m, a path of 2 m wide has to be made inside the garden at the rate of ₹ 24 per sq. m. The cost of making the path is: (Take $$\pi=\frac{22}{7}$$)

Solution

Radius of garden = 15 m
Inner radius without path = 13 m
Area of the garden = $$\dfrac{22}{7} \times (15^2 - 13^2) = \dfrac{22}{7}\times(15+13)\times(15-13)$$

$$= \dfrac{22}{7}\times28\times2 = 176 m^2$$

Cost per sq.m = Rs.24
Therefore, Cost for 176 sq.m = 24*176 = Rs.4224
