Question

Amit runs around a rectangular park which is 120m long and 80m wide. Sonam ran around a square park of side 95 m five times. What distance was covered by both of them? Who covered the more distance & by how much?

Answer 1

distance covered by amit = 2(120+80)

                                          = 2*200

                                           = 400m

distance covered by sonam = 4*95

                                               = 380m

so, amit ran more by 400-380=20m

Answer 2

Amit runs around a rectangular park which is 120m long and 80m wide.

perimeter of rectangular park= 2(length+breadth)

= 2(120+80) m

= 2*200 m

= 400 m

Sonam ran around a square park of side 95 m five times,

perimeter of square = 4* side m

= 4*95 m

= 380 m

If both runs around 5 times then

Amit runs = 5*400 =2000 m

Sonam runs = 5*380 = 1900m

So, Amit runs 100 m more than soman.

Hope it helps you.
