Question

lalith and shekhar each have a square field of different size.they built a wire fence around their respective fields without any gap or overlap.lalith used 8 bundles of fencing wire each of length 20m which cost him a total of RS.800.shekhar used some other bundles each of length 30m which cost him a total of RS.300.each paid the same price per meter wire. what is the difference between the length of the sides of their field

Answer 1

The difference between the length of the sides of Lalith and Shekhar's square fields is 150m.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between the length of the sides of Lalith and Shekhar's square fields, we need to calculate the lengths of their respective sides. We know that Lalith used 8 bundles of fencing wire, each with a length of 20m, which cost him a total of RS.800. Shekhar used some other bundles, each with a length of 30m, which cost him a total of RS.300. Since both paid the same price per meter wire, we can equate the total cost and solve for the lengths of the sides of their fields:

For Lalith:

8 bundles x 20m/bundle = 160m

For Shekhar:

300 RS / (30 RS/m) = 10m

Therefore, the length of the sides of Lalith's field is 160m and the length of the sides of Shekhar's field is 10m. The difference in length between the sides of their fields is 160m - 10m = 150m.

Answer 2

100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Lalith purchased a total of 8 × 20m = 160 m of wire for ₹800, so paid ...

(₹800)/(160 m) = ₹5/m

Shekhar paid ₹800 -300 = ₹500 less, so must have purchased ...

(₹500)/(₹5/m) = 100 m

less wire.

The difference between the field perimeters is 100 m.
