Question

Sweety runs around a square park of side 75 m. Bulbul runs around a rectangular park with a length of 60 m and breadth 45 m. Who covers less distance?

Answer 1

Distance covered by Bulbul = Perimeter of the rectangular park.

Distance covered by Bulbul = 2$\times$(length + breadth).

= 2$\times$(60 + 45).

= 2$\times$105 = 210 m.

Now,
Distance covered by Sweety = Perimeter of the square park.

Distance covered by Sweety = 4$\times$side length

= 4$\times$75 = 300 m.

Since 210 m < 300 m.

Therefore, Bulbul covered lesser distance.
