A closediron tank 12 m long, 9 m wide and 4 m deep is to be made. Determinethe cost of iron sheet used at the rate of Rs. 5 per metre sheet, sheet being 2 m wide.
Given,
Length of tank, l = 12 m Width of tank, b = 9m
Depth of tank, h = 4m
Area of sheet required = total surface area of tank
= 2 (lb×bh×hl)
= 2 (12×9 + 9×4 + 4×12)
= 2 (108 + 36 + 48)
= 2 (192)
= 384 m2
Let length be l1
Breadth be b1 Given, b1 = 2m l1 × b1 = 384
l1 = 384/b1
= 384/2
= 192m
∴ Cost of iron sheet at the rate of Rs 5 per metre = 5 × 192 = Rs 960
