  • question_answer
    The base of triangular field is three times its altitude. If the cost of cultivating the field at 5 0 per hectare be Rs. 675, then its base and height are

    A) 900 m and 300 m

    B)  600 m and 300 m

    C)  500 m and 200 m

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Area of the triangular field \[\text{=}\frac{\text{Total}\,\,\text{cost}}{\text{Rate}}\]
    \[=\frac{675}{50}=13.5\] hectares
    \[=(13.5\times 1000){{m}^{2}}=135000\,\,{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]
    Let altitude be x m. Then, according to question base  \[=3x\,\,\text{m}\]
    Again area of the field \[=\frac{1}{2}\times \]base\[\times \]altitude \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 3x\times x\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{3{{x}^{2}}}{2}=135000\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{x}^{2}}=\frac{135000\times 2}{3}=90000\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=300\]
    \[\therefore \] Base \[=3\times 3\times 300=900\,\,\text{m}\] and altitude \[=x=300\,\,\text{m}\]
