A photograph of Billiard/Snooker table has dimensions as \(\tfrac{1}{10}\)th of its actual size as shown in Fig. 9.71: The portion excluding six holes each of diameter 0.5 cm needs to be polished at rate of ₹200 per m². Find the cost of polishing.

Answer:

Cost of polishing = ₹50.

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Area of rectangle = 25 × 10 = 250 cm². 6 holes area = 6 × π × (0.25)² ≈ 1.18. Net area = 248.82 cm² = 0.024882 m². Cost = 0.024882 × 200 ≈ ₹50.
