Question

What is the cost of tiling a rectangular plot of land 500 m long and 200 m wide at the rate of Rs 8 per hundred sq m.?

Answer 1

Length of land = 500 m and Breadth of land = 200 m 

Area of land = length x breadth = 500 m x 200 m 

= 1,00,000 m² 

Cost of tilling 100 sq. m of land = ₹ 8 

Cost of tilling 1,00,000 sq. m of land = \(\frac{8}{100}\) x1,00,000 = ₹ 8000

Therefore, the total cost is ₹ 8000
