Answer c) Rs. 6042
Length and breadth of rectangular lawn = 36 m and 20 m.
Area of the path = 36*3 + 20 * 3 – (3*3) = 159 sq. cm
Cost of gravelling the path = 159 * 38 = Rs. 6042.

2)The area of a square is 1444 cm². The breadth of a rectangle is 1/4th the side of the square and the length of the rectangle is thrice of the breadth. What is the difference between the area of the square and the area of the rectangle?
a) 1100 cm²
b) 567 cm²

Answer c) 1173.75 cm²
Breadth of rectangle = √1444/ 4
= 9.5 ??
Length = 3 * breadth = 28.5 cm
Area = 28.5 * 9.5 = 270 .75 sq. cm
Difference in area = 1444- 270.75 = 1173.25 sq. cm

New area = ½ *10 * 6 h = 30
% of new areas = 30/50*100 = 60%
