- Leveling Cost Calculation:

- The cost of leveling is Rs 1,30,000 at a rate of Rs 52/m².

- Calculate the area: \( \text{Area} = \frac{1,30,000}{52} \) m².

- Area = 2500 m².

- Since it's a square field, the side = \( \sqrt{2500} \) = 50 m.

- Cost of Fencing:

- The perimeter of the square field = 4 × side = 4 × 50 = 200 meters.

- Fencing cost = 200 m × Rs 35/m = Rs 7,000.

- Options:

- Option 1: Rs 2,500 – Incorrect, lower than needed.

- Option 2: Rs 7,000 – Correct.

- Option 3: Rs 87,500 – Incorrect, too high.

- Option 4: Rs 3,500 – Incorrect, lower than needed.

Option 2: Rs 7,000 is correct.
