Solution

The correct option is D

82


For 2.5 m, number of saplings required = 5

For 1 m, number of saplings required = 52.5 = 2

Ted has to plant 2 plants per metre.

Perimeter of the garden = (10.2 + 11.4 + 10.6 + 8.8) m = 41.0 m = 41 m

For 1 m, Ted needs 2 plants.

So, for 41 m, Ted is going to need = 41 × 2 = 82 saplings.
