Solution

Let the length and breadth of the field be 4x and 3x metres respectively. The area of the field.
=4x×3x=12x2=3072 m2
Hence x2=3072÷12=256
or x=256=16
Length = 4x = 64 m; Breadth = 3x = 48 m
Length of fencing = Perimeter of the field = 2 (64 + 48) m = 224 m
Cost of fencing at Rs 4 per metre = Rs (224 × 4) = Rs 896.
