Question : The sides of a triangular field are 120 m, 170 m and 250 m. The cost of levelling the field at the rate of INR 7.40/m2 is:
Option 1: INR 65,120
Option 2: INR 63,640
Option 3: INR 59,200
Option 4: INR 66,600
Correct Answer: INR 66,600
Solution : Sides of triangular field = 120 m, 170 m, and 250 m. Rate = Rs. 7.40/ m$^2$ Area of triangle = $\sqrt{S(S - a)(S - b)(S - c)}$ where semi-perimeter $S = \frac{a + b + c}{2}$, and $a,b,c$ are the sides of the triangle. Dimensions of the triangular field are 120 m, 170 m and 250 m. S = $\frac{120 + 170 + 250}{2}$= $\frac{540}{2}$ = 270 m As we know, Area of triangle = $\sqrt{S(S - a)(S - b)(S - c)}$ = $\sqrt{270(270 - 120)(270 - 170)(270 - 250)}$ = $\sqrt{270 \times 150 \times 100 \times 20}$ = $\sqrt{9 \times 3 \times 10 \times 5 \times 3 \times 10 \times 4 \times 5 \times 100}$ = 3 × 3 × 10 × 5 × 2 × 10 = 9000 m$^2$ Cost of levelling 1 m$^2$ = INR 7.40 Cost of levelling 9000 m$^2$ = 7.40 × 9000 = INR 66,600 So, the required cost of levelling is INR 66,600. Hence, the correct answer is INR 66,600.
