14 Case Study – 2 4

Due to heavy floods in a state, thousands were rendered homeless. 50


schools collectively offered to the state government to provide place
and the canvas for 1500 tents to be fixed by the government and
decided to share the whole expenditure equally. The lower part of each
tent is cylindrical of base radius 2.8 m and height 3.5 m, with conical
upper part of same base radius but of height 2.1 m. If the canvas used
to make the tents costs `120 per sq.m, find the amount shared by each
school to set up the tents. Use π = 22/7. (Rs. 3, 32, 640)
