Q1. A rectangular grass field is 75 m * 55 m, it has a path of 2.5 m wide all round it on the outside. Find the area of the path and the cost of constructing it at Rs.2 per sq m?
Answer: 675 sq.m, Rs.1350
Explanation: Outer dimensions with path = (75+5) × (55+5) = 80×60 = 4800 m². Path area = 4800 − 4125 = 675 m². Cost = 675 × 2 = Rs. 1350.
