Four horses are tethered at 4 corners of a square field of side 70 meters so that they can just about reach one another. Find the area (in square meter) left ungrazed by the four horses.

A. 3850
B. 1075
C. 1050
D. 1200
E. 950


Are You Up For the Challenge: 700 Level Questions

Square side 70 metres.
Four horses tied at four corners so that they can just reach each other means radius = rope = 70/2 = 35metres.

Now the area left ungrazed = area of square - 4*[theta(90)/360]*22/7*(35)^2
70^2 - 22*5*35
On solving we will get 1050 C as the answer.

Horses are tied to the corners and can just about reach each other. The side of the field is 70 metres. So each horse can move in a radius of 35 metres in a quarter circle. To get the ungrazed area we subtract the area of 4 quarter circles from the area of the entire square field
i.e. Area (square) - 4 * Area (quarter circle)
=70*70 - 4 * (Pi * 35*35/4)
=4900 - pi*1225
= ~1500 sq metres
