Detailed Solution

Given that, the area of a circular playground is 88704 m2 and the cost of fencing of this ground at the rate of rupees 65 per meter.
We know that the area of circle is π r 2  .
Let the radius of the circular ground be r.
Equate the area of circle to π r 2   and find the value of r.
88704= 22 7 × r 2      r 2 =88704× 7 22      r 2 =28224    r = 168 cm
Calculating the circumference of circular ground,
2πr=2× 22 7 ×168     1056 m
Cost of fencing per meter is Rs.65.
Calculating the cost of fencing of the ground having 1056 metre as the circumference by computing the product of 1056 and 65,  65×1056=68640  
Therefore, the cost of fencing this ground at the rate of rupees 65 per meter is Rs 68640.
Hence the correct option is 1.
