The outer circumference of a circular race-track is 528 m. The track is everywhere 14 m wide. Calculate the cost of levelling the track at the rate of 50 paise per square metre (Use $\pi= \frac{22}{7}$).
Given:
The outer circumference of a circular race-track is 528 m. The track is everywhere 14 m wide.
To do:
We have to calculate the cost of levelling the track at the rate of 50 paise per square metre.
Solution:
Let $R$ and $r$ be the radii of the outer and inner of the track.
Outer circumference of the race track $= 528\ m$
Width of the track $=14 \mathrm{~m}$
Outer radius $\mathrm{R}=\frac{\text { Circumference }}{2 \pi}$
$=\frac{528 \times 7}{2 \times 22} \mathrm{~m}$
$=12 \times 7$
$=84 \mathrm{~m}$
Therefore,
Inner radius $r=84-14=70 \mathrm{~m}$
Area of the track $=\pi R^{2}-\pi r^{2}$
$=\pi(\mathrm{R}^{2}-r^{2})$
$=\frac{22}{7}(84^{2}-70^{2}) \mathrm{m}^{2}$
$=\frac{22}{7}(84^2-70^2) \mathrm{m}^{2}$
$=\frac{22}{7} \times (7056-4900)$
$=6776 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$
Rate of levelling the track $=0.50$ per $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ Total cost of levelling the track $=Rs.\ 6776 \times 0.5$
$=Rs.\ 3388$
The total cost of levelling the track is Rs. 3388.
