Correct Answer: INR 17,136


Solution : Given:
a = 60 m
b = 112 m
c = 164 m
Rate = INR 8.50/m 2
Now,
Semi perimeter, $(S) = \frac{60\ +\ 112\ +\ 164 }{2} =\ 168$
Area of the triangle
$A\ = \sqrt{168(168\ -\ 60)(168\ -\ 112)(168\ -\ 164)} $
$⇒A\ = \sqrt{168\ \times 108\ \times 56\ \times 4}$
$\therefore A\ = 2016$ m 2
So, the cost of levelling of 2016 m 2 of the park
$=\ 8.5\ \times 2016$
$=17136$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 17136.
