Question

Suhail was planning to fence the garden with plants. How many saplings should he buy so that he can fence the garden with 6 plants every 2 meters?

• A. 131
• B. 141
• C. 62
• D. 144

Answer 1

The correct option is D

144

For 2 m, number of saplings required = 6

For 1 m, number of saplings required = $\frac{6}{2}$ = 3

Therefore, Suhail has to plant 3 plants per meter.

Perimeter of the garden = (11.5 + 12.6 + 13.2+ 10.7) m = 48 m

For 1 m, Suhail needs 3 plants.

So, for 48 m, Suhail is going to need 48 $\times$ 3 = 144 saplings.
