Solution

The correct option is A

20 m


Diameter of a circular fountain= 14m, so radius = 7m.

Let the length of the square be a m and radius of the fountain be r m

Total cost = cost of constructing the fountain + cost of laying the grass

6460 = (area of fountain x cost per m2) + (Area of square park -area of circular fountain) x (cost for grass per m2)

6460=(π(r)2×10)+((a2π(r)2)×20)

6460=(π(7)2×10)+((a2π(7)2)×20)

6460=(154×10)+(a2154)×20

6460=1540+(a2154)×20
64601540=(a2154)×20
4920=(a2154)×20
246=(a2154)
246+154=a2
400=a2

a=20 m
