A rectangular lawn of length 50 m and breadth 35 m is to be surrounded externally by a path which is 2 m wide. Find the cost of turfing the path at the rate of $3 per m². Select: A) $1008 B) $1031 C) $1028 D) $1068 E) $1088
Length of the lawn = 50 m   Breadth of the lawn = 35 m   Area of the lawn = (50 × 35) m²   = 1750 m²   Length of lawn including the path = [50 + (2 + 2)= 
<gadget id="calculator">50 + (2 + 2)</gadget>
<output>54</output>
54 cm   Breadth of the lawn including the path= [35 + (2 + 2)= 
<gadget id="calculator">35 + (2 + 2)</gadget>
<output>39</output>
39 m   Area of the lawn including the path= 54 × 39 m² = 2106 m²   Therefore, area of the path = (2106 - 1750)= 
<gadget id="calculator">(2106 - 1750)</gadget>
<output>356</output>
356 m²   For 1 m², the cost of turfing the path= $ 3   For 356 m², the cost of turfing the path = $3 × 356 = $1068   ANSWER : $1068
