A. Rs. 3600

B. Rs. 3900

C. Rs. 36000

D. Rs. 39000

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Area of the roads :
= (80 × 10 + 60 × 10 - 10 × 10) m2
= 1300 m2
∴ Cost of gravelling :
= Rs. (1300 × 30)
= Rs. 39000

    Wrong answer correct area of width is 1200 sq meter as 100 sq meter is twice and need to be deducted from 1300 sq m.
    So answer should be Rs 36000.
