Question

Sonu runs around a square park of side 80m five times. what distance does he cover? ankit runs thrice around a rectangular park of length 250m and breadth 150m. what distance does he cover? who covers more distance and by how much?

Answer 1

Given,
Side of square,
$a = 80m$
Length of rectangular park,
$l = 250m$
Breadth of park,
$b = 150m$
Distance traveled by Sonu,
$s = 5 \times (4 \times a) = 5 \times 4 \times 80 = 1600m$
Distance traveled by Ankit,
$d = 3 \times 2 \times (l + b) = 3 \times 2 \times (250 + 150) = 3 \times 2 \times 400 = 1600$
Hence, both Ankit and Sonu covered same distance, i.e. 1600 meters.

Answer 2

$\huge\bold\red{Answer}$

The problem deals with calculating perimeter

Distance covered by Sonu= 5*Perimeter of square

= 5*4*80 m

= 1600 m

Distance covered by Ankit=3* Perimeter of

rectangle

= 3*2*(250+150) m

= 2400 m

Ankit covered (2400-1600) m = 800 m more than Sonu
