Question

Purohit runs 5 times around a rectangular field of length 100 m and breadth 50 m. What is the total distance covered by Purohit?

• A. 1500 m
• B. 1200 m
• C. 900 m
• D. 600 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1500 m

To find the total distance covered by Purohit, we need to first find the perimeter of the rectangle.
Given,
Length = 100m, Breadth = 50 m
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2(L + B)
= 2(100 + 50)
= 2(150)
= 300 m
1 round around the rectangle = 300 m
$\therefore$ For 5 rounds around the rectangle field = $5\times 300$
= 1500 m
