Solution
Diameter of roller = 84 cm Radius = 84/2 = 42 cm or 0.42 m
Width or height = 1.2 m
Roller is in the shape of a cylinder.
Area of roller = Curved surface area of cylinder
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2πrh
⇒ 2*22/7*0.42*1.2
⇒ 22.176/7
= 3.168 m²
Area of 1 revolution = Area of roller = 3.168 m²
Area of 500 revolution = Area of playground = 3.168 × 500
= 1584 m²
So, the area of the playground is 1584 m²
Cost of levelling the playground should be Rs. 50 per sq m instead of wrongly written 50 % per square meter.
