The solution to Very Noob Farmer seems very simple, however I ran into this issue:

After taking input,

unit_area = l2_area//l2
total_price = price*(l1 + l2)*unit_area
print(total_price)

gives me Wrong Answer, but

total_price = price*(l1 + l2)*l2_area//l2
print(total_price)

gives me AC. Why is this so?

It is not necessary that l2 divides l2_area due to which your first code may fail.

l2 area = 3
l2=2
l1=2
Price=1

Now,

eqn 1 :

Unit area= floor(3/2)=1
And total price=1*4*1=4

eqn 2 :

floor(1*4*3/2) = floor(12/2) = 6

I see now that the question specifically says that only the output (total_price) will be an integer.

So l2_area//l2 and even (l2_area*l1)//l2 might not be an integer, only when multiplied with the price will we be sure to get an integer.

Thanks guys.
