    The cost of cultivating a square field at the rate of Rs.160 per hectare is Rs.1440. Find the cost of putting a fence around it at the rate of 75 paise per meter:

    A) Rs. 1200                     

    B) Rs. 1800

    C) Rs. 900             

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Cost = Rs.160 per hectare \[=2\pi rh\] [We have 1 hectare = 10,000 square meter] Area of the field \[=2\pi r(h+r)\] hectare \[=\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h\] If 'a' denotes the side of the field (or square), then \[=\pi rl.\]\[l=\sqrt{{{h}^{2}}+{{r}^{2}}}\] \[=\pi rl+\pi {{r}^{2}}=\pi r(l+r)\] \[\frac{1}{3}rd\] Perimeter of the field = 4a = 1200 m Now, the cost of putting a fence \[=\pi {{r}^{2}}h-\frac{1}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h=\frac{2}{3}\pi {{r}^{2}}h=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{22}{7}\times 6\times 6\times 14\]                                     \[=1056c{{m}^{3}}.\]
