Problem: the length and breadth of a rectangular courtyard is 75 m and 32 m . find the cost of leveling it at the rate of $ 3 per m 2 . also , find the distance covered by a boy to take 4 rounds of the courtyard .
Rationale: length of the courtyard = 75 m breadth of the courtyard = 32 m perimeter of the courtyard = 2 ( 75 + 32 ) m = 2 × 107 m = 214 m distance covered by the boy in taking 4 rounds = 4 × perimeter of courtyard = 4 × 214 = 856 m we know that area of the courtyard = length × breadth = 75 × 32 m 2 = 2400 m 2 for 1 m 2 , the cost of levelling = $ 3 for 2400 m 2 , the cost of levelling = $ 3 × 2400 = $ 7200 answer : e
