Solution

Given cost of cultivating =Rs.2.25 per 100 m2

Therefore cultivating 1m2 cost Rs.2.25100

Let area which was cultivated be x m2

Then ,
2.25100×x=346.50

225x=3465000
x=15400 m2

Therefore we can say that,
πr2=15400
r2=4900
r=70 m

And perimeter =2πr=2×227×70=440 m

Hence cost of fencing at Rs.1.20 per m=440×1.20=Rs.528
