Question

Cost of levelling a land at the rate of ₹ 15.50 sq.ft is ₹ 10,075. Find the area of the land.

Answer 1

Cost of levelling the entire land = ₹ 10,075

Cost of levelling 1 sq.ft = ₹ 15.50

∴ Area of the land = `"Cost of levelling entire land"/"Cost of levelling 1 sq.ft"`

= `10075/15.50 xx 100/100`

= `(10075 xx 100)/(15.50 xx 100)`

= `1007500/1550`

= `100750/155`

= 650

∴ Area of the land = 650 sq.ft.
