    Question

    A circular field has an inner radius of 7 metres. A

    path of width 14 metres surrounds the field. Find the cost of cementing the path at the rate of Rs. 5 per square metre.
    A Rs. 5600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 6000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 6160 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 6300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Outer radius = 7 + 14 = 21 metres Area of outer circle = π × 21²
    = (22/7) × 441
    = 1386 m² Area of inner circle = π × 7²
    = (22/7) × 49
    = 154 m² Area of the path = 1386 − 154
    = 1232 m² Therefore, cost of cementing the path = 1232 × 5
    = Rs. 6160
