      Question

      The perimeter of a square field is 10 cm more than the

      perimeter of a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 60 cm which is 80% of its width. If a street of width 10 cm surrounds from outside the square, then find the total cost of constructing the street at the rate of Rs. 20 per sq. cm.
      A 42000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 64000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 36000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 56000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the width of the rectangle = x cm Then, 80% of x = 60 x = 60 ├Ч 100/80 = 75 cm Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (length + width) = 2 ├Ч (60 + 75) = 270 cm Perimeter of the square = (270 + 10) = 280 cm The sides of the square = 280/4 = 70 cm The area of the square field without street = (70)2┬аsq. cm = 4900 sq. cm┬а┬а The area of the square field with street = (70 + 20)2┬аsq. cm = 8100 sq. cm The area of the street = 8100 тАУ 4900 = 3200 sq. cm The total cost of constructing the street = 3200 ├Ч 20 = Rs. 64000
