Solution
Given : Perimeter = 440 m
Let the length of rectangular field = 7x and breadth = 4x
2(l + b) = Perimeter
2(7x + 4x) = 440m
2(11x) = 440m
22x = 440m
x =`440/22`
x = 20m
∴ Length = 7x = 7 x 20 = 140m
Breadth = 4x = 4 x 20 = 80m
Cost of fencing per m = ₹150
Cost of fencing 440 m = ₹150 x 440 = ₹66,000
