Question

The inner circumference of a circular track is 264 m and the width of the track is 7 m. Find :
the cost of fencing the outer circumference at the rate of Rs 50 per m.

Open in App
Solution

Let r be the radius of the inner track.

Inner circumference of track =2πr=264m(Given)

2×227×r=264

r=264×72×22

r=42m

Width of track (w)=7m(Given)

Outer radius (R)=r+w

=42+7=49m

Therefore,

Outer circumeference of track =2πR

=2×227×49=308m

Cost of fencing =Rs.50 per meter
Therefore,
Cost of fencing the outer circumference of track =50×308=Rs.15400
