Q18 of 70 Page 19

How many cubic metres of earth msut be dugout to sink a well 21 m deep and 6 m diameter? Find the cost of plastering the inner surface of the well at Rs. 9.50 per m2.


Given,


Depth of well = 21m


Diameter of well = 6m


So, radius of well =


Volume of earth that can be dug out = πr2h =


Inner curved surface area of cylindrical well = 2πrh =


Cost of plastering 1 m2 area = Rs. 9.50


∴cost of plastering 396 m2 area = 396×9.50 = Rs. 3762
