Solution

Given: Total distance to be covered = 560 m.
distance covered by Rohan = 347 m
remaining distance = 560 -347 = 213 m
now 1 step cover = 0.5 m
then no. of steps in 213 m $= \frac{213}{0.5} = 426$
Hence 426 steps needs to be covered to completed the race.

In a race Karan covers 1m in $1^{s t}$ second, in the next second he covers twice the distance he covered in $1^{s t}$ second, in $3^{r d}$ second he covers twice the distance which he covered in $2^{n d}$ second and he continues to run like this till six seconds. After that he slows down, as in $7^{t h}$ second he covers only half the distance which he covered in $6^{t h}$ second and in $8^{t h}$ second he covers half the distance which he covered in $7^{t h}$ second and he continuous in that manner. If Karan completes the race in 9 seconds, find the length of given track. [4 MARKS]
