What will be the cost of building a fence around a square plot with area equal to 289 sq ft, if the price per foot of building the fence is Rs. 58 ?

A Rs. 3748

B Rs. 3847

C Rs. 3944

D Rs. 3154

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

Let the side of the square plot be 'a' ft.
Given area of the plot (a x a) = 289 => a = 17
Length of the fence = Perimeter of the plot = 4a = 68 ft.
Cost of building the fence = 68 x 58 = Rs. 3944.
