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
