Step-by-Step Solution

The perimeter is m, and the 5 m gateway needs no fence, so 145 m is fenced at = ₹17400. The trap ₹18000 fences the full 150 m and forgets the gate; ₹16800 takes the 5 m off twice, fencing only 140 m; ₹162000 charges the per-metre rate on the garden's AREA of 1350 sq m, but fencing is bought by length.
