Solution

The correct option is B ₹720
Length of wire needed to fence the square garden
= Perimeter of the square garden

Perimeter of a square of side 'a' = '4a'

Hence, perimeter of the square garden = 4×15 = 60 m

The total amount he will have to spend = Total length of wire needed x cost of 1 metre of wire
= 60×12 = ₹ 720
