Answer

Given,

Area of playground = 4800 m2

We can write it as,

l × b = 4800

Given,

Depth of level = 1 cm

∴ h = 1 cm = 1100\dfrac{1}{100} m

By formula,

Volume of gravel needed = l × b × h

= 4800 × 1100\dfrac{1}{100}

= 48 m3

Cost of gravel = ₹260 per cubic metre

So the total cost = 260 × 48 = ₹12480

Hence, cost of covering the playground with 1 cm deep gravel = ₹12480.
