    Question

    The dimensions of a rectangular field are given as

    follows: the length is (x + 4) cm and the breadth is (x тАУ 2) cm. It costs Rs. 8 per square centimeter to plough this field, and the total ploughing expense amounts to Rs. 3456. Calculate the expense of fencing this field at a rate of Rs. 15 per centimeter.
    A Rs. 1260 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 1820 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 1920 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 1640 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 1240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Area of field = 3456/8 = 432 cm2 So, (x + 4)(x тАУ 2) = 432 Or, x2┬а+ 2x тАУ 440 = 0 Or, x2┬а+ 22x тАУ 20x тАУ 440 = 0 Or, x(x + 22) тАУ 20(x + 22) = 0 Or, (x + 22)(x тАУ 20) = 0 So, x = 20 Perimeter of the field = 2 ├Ч {(20 + 4) + (20 тАУ 2)} = 84 metres Desired cost = 84 ├Ч 15 = Rs. 1260
