    A Rs. 63,532 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 63,235 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 62,335 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 63,352 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Area of the square field leveled = `288800/32` = 9,025 m² ∴ Side of the sq field = `sqrt9025` [if gte msEquation 12]> 9025 [if !msEquation]-->[endif]-->= 95 m ∴ Perimeter of the sq field ` ` ` ` = 4 x 95 = 380 m ∴ Cost of fencing = 380 x 14 = Rs. 5,320 Side of the field without the pathway = 91m ∴ Area of the field without the pathway = 91² = 8281m² ∴ Area of the path = 9025 - 8281 = 744 m² ∴ Cost of constructing the pathway = 744 x 78 = Rs.58,032 ∴ Total cost = 5,320 + 58,032 = Rs. 63,352
