A farmer’s land is in the shape of a trapezium which has its parallel sides measuring 6.32 yards and 7.68 yards and the distance between the parallel sides is 5.50 yards. The cost of ploughing the land is Rs. 1200 per square yard. What amount have to be spent in order to plough the entire land?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs. 46200.
Area of trapezium = × (Sum of its parallel sides) × height
Area of trapezium = × (6.32 + 7.68) × 5.50
= 38.5 yards2
The cost of ploughing the land is Rs 1200 per square yard
So, the total amount spent = 1200 × 38.5 = Rs 46200
