A rectangular grassy plot 110 m. by 65 m has a gravel path 2.5 m wide all round it on the inside. Find the cost of gravelling the path at 70 paise per sq. metre	Choose the correct option:
A) s 595
B) s 780
C) s 880
D) s 480
E) s 980

Rationale: "area of the plot = 110 m * 65 m = 7150 sq . m area of plot excluding gravel = 105 m * 60 m = 6300 sq . m area of gravel = 7150 sq . m - 6300 sq . m = 850 sq . m cost of building it = 850 sq . m * 70 = 59500 p in rs = 59500 / 100 = rs 595 answer : a"
