A rectangular ground has the breadth 80percent of length and perimeter is 360m. Find the cost of planting the ground at Rs 8 per m^2

Rs 64000

Step-by-step explanation:

Since breadth B = 80% of length L, B = 0.8L

Perimeter, P = 2(L + B) = 360m

Substituting B = 0.8L into P, we have

2(0.8L + L) = 360 m

2(1.8L) = 360 m

3.6L = 360 m

L = 360m/3.6

L = 100 m

So, B = 0.8L = 0.8(100 m) = 80 m

The area of the rectangular ground is A = LB = 100 m × 80 m = 8000 m²

So, the cost of planting the ground at Rs 8 per m² is  Rs 8 per m² × 8000 m² = Rs 64000
