can any one please help me in this sum

Given :-
The short and long hands of a clock are 8 cm and 12 cm long respectively.
To Find :-
Find the sum of distances traveled by their tips in two days i.e 48h
Solution :-
We know that
Circumference of circle = 2πr
Circumference of short hand = 2πr
Circumference of short hand = 2 × 22/7 × 8
Circumference of short hand = 44/7 × 8
Circumference of short hand = 50.2 cm
Circumference of long hand = 2πR
Circumference of long hand = 2 × 22/7 × 12
Circumference of long hand = 44/7 × 12
Circumference of long hand = 75.4 cm
Sum of distance travelled = 50.2 + 75.4
Sum of distance travelled = 125.6
Radius of Long Hand(r₁) and Short Hand(r₂) of a clock are 12cm , 8cm Respectively.
The sum of distance travelled by both their tip in two days. i.e., 48 hours
then,
Circumference of Long Hand = 2πr₁
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 12
⇒ 22/7 × 24
⇒ 75.4cm
Circumference of Hand = 2πr₂
⇒ 2 × 22/7 × 8
⇒ 22/7 × 16
⇒ 50.2cm
Sum of Distance travelled by their tips
⇒ 75.4 + 50.2
⇒ 125.6 cm
