  1. Let the length and breadth of the rectangular plot be 11x and 4x respectively.
    Perimeter of the plot = Total Cost/Cost of 1 meter = 75000/100=750m
    We know that Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
    Therefore, according to the question, 750=2(11x+4x)
    ⇒ 750=2X15x ⇒ 750=30x ⇒ 30x=750 ⇒ x=750/30=25
    Hence, length of rectangular plot = 11 x 25 = 275 m and breadth of rectangular plot = 4 x 25 = 100 m
