Correct Answer: (3)

Solution: (3)

Circumference of circle $=2 \pi r$

$\Rightarrow 572=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r$

$\Rightarrow r=\frac{572 \times 7}{2 \times 22}=91$

$\therefore$ Length of floor $=91+6$ $=97$ metre $=l$

$\therefore 2(l+b)=356$

$\Rightarrow 2(97+b)=356$

$\Rightarrow 97+b=178$

$\Rightarrow b=178-97=81$ metre

$\therefore$ Area of floor $=97 \times 81$ $=7857$ sq. metre

$\therefore$ Required cost $=12 \times 7857$ $= \text{₹} 94284$
