Detailed Solution

Question ImageThe area of the total rectangular plot is equal to
56m×39m = 2184 m2 .
The length of the grassy plot becomes 56m−2.5m−2.5m = 51m and the breadth of the grassy plot becomes 39m−2.5m−2.5m = 34m.
The area of the grassy plot only is 51 ×34m = 1734 m
2.
the area of the gravel path is equal to
 2184m2−1734m2 = 450m2 .
The cost of constructing the path Rs.4.5 per metre square. So, the cost for constructing the gravel path is 4.5×450 = 2025.
Hence, The correct answer is option (2).
