Solution

The correct option is B

4400 m, 400 m


Given:
Diameter of the circle, d=400 m
Time taken to complete one circle, T=40 s
Total time of motion, T2=2 min20 s

Circumference of circle, C=πd
Speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered to time taken.
Hence, speed of the runner
v=CT=πdT

Total time of motion, T2=2 min20 s=140 s
Total distance covered is given by:
D=vT2
D=πdT2T
D=π×400×14040
D4400 m

No. of rounds completed:
n=Total distance coveredCircumference of the circle
n=Dπd
n=T2T
n=140040=3.5
This means that he will be at the diametrically opposite end, i.e., he starts at A and ends at B.
Hence displacement, s=2r=400 m
