Question: A person observed that he required 30 s time to cross a circular ground along its diameter than to cover it once along the boundary. If his speed was 30 m/min, then the radius of the circular ground is $ ( take\pi =\frac{22}{7} ). $
Options:
A) 10.5 cm
B) 3.6 m
C) 5.5 m
D) 7.5 m
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- 1st the radius of circular field $ =r,m $
Speed of person in $ m/s=\frac{30}{60}=\frac{1}{2}m/s $
According to the question,
$ \frac{2\pi r}{1/2}-\frac{2r}{1/2}=30 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 4\pi r-4r=30 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ ( 4\times \frac{22}{7}-4 )r=30 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ (12.5-4y)r=30 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ (8.5)r=30 $
$ \therefore $ $ r=\frac{30}{8.5}=3.5m $
