Question 5

What is the cost of tilling a rectangular plot of land 500 m long and 200 m wide at the rate of ₹8 per hundred sq.m?

Answer 1

Length of land = 500 m.

Breadth of land = 200 m.

Area of land = length$\times$breadth = 500 m$\times$200 m = 1,00,000 $m^2$.

$\because$ Cost of tilling 100 sq. m of land = ₹8.

$\therefore$ Cost of tilling 1,00,000 sq. m of land = $\frac{8\times 1000\text{/}00}{1\text{/}00}$= ₹8000.
