Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e  5880

The area of a square shaped field is 1764 m2

a2 = 1764

a = 42 m

The breadth of rectangular park = (1/6) × 42 = 7 m

The length of the rectangular park = 4 × 7 =28 m

The area of the rectangular park = 7 × 28 = 196 m2

The cost (in ₹) of levelling the park at ₹30 per m2 = 196 × 30 = ₹ 5880
