Sides of a rectangular park are in the ratio 3: 2 and its area is 3750 sq m, the cost of fencing it at 50 ps per meter is_______?
Correct answer: C. Rs.125
- A. Rs.150
- B. Rs.100
- C. Rs.125
- D. Rs.175
Explanation
Let the sides be 3x m and 2x m. Then 3x x 2x = 3750 m², so x² = 625 m² and x = 25 m; the sides are 75 m and 50 m, giving perimeter 250 m. At Rs 0.50 per metre, the cost is 250 m x Rs 0.50/m = Rs 125. Students may choose option a by confusing the area calculation with the fencing cost.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
