Question

Alex jogged around the cricket stadium thrice for warming up.
How much distance did he cover if one round was 500 m long?

• A. 1 km
• B. 1 km 500 m
• C. 2 km
• D. 2 km 500 m

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1 km 500 m

Distance covered by Alex in 1 round = 500 m
Distance covered by Alex in 3 rounds
= 500 + 500 + 500
= 1000 + 500
= 1500 m
But none of the options have 1500 m. All the options are in kilometres. So we need to convert 1500 m into kilometres.
we know 1 km = 1000 m
1500 m = 1000 m + 500 m
= 1 km 500 m
Therefore option B is the answer
