Correct Answer: Rs. 67,760


Solution : Given, The outer circumference of the circular race track = 528 metre
Width of track = 14 m
Cost of levelling = Rs. 10 per sq. metre
Let the outer radius be $r$.
So, $2 \pi r = 528$
⇒ $r=\frac{528\times 7}{2\times 22}$
⇒ $r=84$ metre
Inner radius = 84 – 14 = 70 metres
Area of track = $\pi (84)^2-\pi (70)^2$
$= \frac{22}{7}\times (84-70)(84+70)$
= 6776 sq. metres
Total lost of levelling = 10 × 6776 = Rs. 67,760
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 67,760.
