Solution

Concept: 1 Mark
Steps: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark

The breadth of the river $= \frac{1}{3} \times 21$

$= 7 k m$

Length covered by walking $= 4 (\frac{1}{3} o f 21) k m$

$\Rightarrow 4 (7 k m)$

$\Rightarrow 28 k m$

Hence, the total distance covered by Shivaji = 21km + 7km + 28km

$\Rightarrow$ 28km + 28km
= 56km

The total distance covered by Shivaji is 56km.
