Q29

A farmer built a fence around his square plot. He used 27 fence poles on each side of the square. How many poles did he need altogether ?

A.
100
B.
104
Answer
C.
108
D.
None of these

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Since each pole at the corner of the plot is common to its two sides, so we have :
Total number of poles needed = 27 x 4 - 4 = 108 - 4 = 104.
