Answer
Given, length of garden = 12 m and breadth = 8 m.
(a) Length of fencing = perimeter of the rectangle.
Perimeter = 2 (length + breadth)
= 2 × (12 + 8)
= 2 × 20
= 40 m.
(b) Total fencing cost = length of fencing × cost per metre.
= 40 × 75 = ₹ 3000.
(c) Area of garden = length × breadth.
= 12 × 8 = 96 m2.
(d) Cost of planting grass = area × cost per square metre.
= 96 × 40 = ₹ 3840.
Hence, (a) 40 m, (b) ₹ 3000, (c) 96 m2, (d) ₹ 3840.
