The area of a square field 3136 sq m, if the length of cost of drawing barbed wire 3 m around the field at the rate of Rs.1.50 per meter. Two gates of 1 m width each are to be left for entrance. What is the total cost?
Correct answer: C. Rs.999
- A. Rs.1014
- B. Rs.1140
- C. Rs.999
- D. Rs.1085
Explanation
The square's side is √3136 m = 56 m, so its perimeter is 4 x 56 m = 224 m. Three rounds with two 1 m gates left open require (224 m - 2 m) x 3 = 666 m of wire, costing 666 m x Rs.1.50 per m = Rs.999. Option c is correct; option a usually comes from charging for all four sides without subtracting the gates.

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.
