1. **State the problem:**
We are given a rectangular land where the length is 10 meters longer than the breadth. The cost of fencing the land with 3 rounds at 50 per meter totals 13,800. We need to find the length and breadth.
2. **Define variables:**
Let the breadth be $x$ meters.
Then the length is $x + 10$ meters.
3. **Formula for perimeter:**
The perimeter $P$ of a rectangle is given by:
$$P = 2(\text{length} + \text{breadth})$$
4. **Total fencing length:**
Since there are 3 rounds of fencing, total fencing length is:
$$3 \times P = 3 \times 2(x + (x + 10)) = 6(2x + 10) = 12x + 60$$
5. **Cost equation:**
Cost = (total fencing length) $\times$ (cost per meter)
$$13800 = (12x + 60) \times 50$$
6. **Solve for $x$:**
Divide both sides by 50:
$$\frac{13800}{50} = 12x + 60$$
$$\cancel{\frac{13800}{50}} = 12x + 60$$
Calculate left side:
$$276 = 12x + 60$$
Subtract 60 from both sides:
$$276 - 60 = 12x$$
$$216 = 12x$$
Divide both sides by 12:
$$\cancel{\frac{216}{12}} = x$$
$$18 = x$$
7. **Find length:**
$$\text{length} = x + 10 = 18 + 10 = 28$$
**Final answer:**
Length = 28 meters, Breadth = 18 meters.
