Question : A playground is in the shape of a rectangle. A sum of Rs. 1000 was spent to make the ground usable at a rate of 25 paise per square metre. The breadth of the ground is 50 m. If the length of the ground is increased by 20 m, what will be the expenditure (in Rs.) at the same rate?
Option 1: 1250
Option 2: 1000
Option 3: 1500
Option 4: 2250
Correct Answer: 1250
Solution :
The area of a rectangle = length × breadth
Re. 1 = 100 paise
Increase in area = change in length × breadth
⇒ Increase in area = 20 × 50 = 1000 m
2
So, increase in expenditure at the same rate $= \frac{1000 × 25}{100} = \mathrm{Rs.}\;250$
So, total expenditure = Rs. (1000 + 250) = Rs. 1250
Hence, the correct answer is 1250.
