Step-by-Step Solution

P: perimeter m. Q: perimeter m. P needs m more, costing more.
Answer: B) ₹50

Key idea: Choosing the right concept

Watch for the question wording:

- **Fencing a garden, putting a border, walking around a track** → perimeter (length unit)
- **Painting a wall, covering a floor with tiles, area of cloth needed** → area (square unit)

A classic trap: 'How much wire to fence a square plot of side 20 m?' — perimeter, not area. The wire goes *around* the boundary.
