Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 21 m Given : Time taken to walk around field 1 = 11 s Time taken to walk around field 2 = 33 s Formula used : Speed = Distance/ Time Calculations : Let the radius of field 1 and field 2 be r1 and r2 respectively. And the speeds while traveling in field 1 and field 2 are 2x and x respectively. Distance traveled = Perimeter of the fields ⇒ Distance 1/Distance 2 = (speed× time)1 / (speed× time)2 ⇒ Distance 1/Distance 2 = (2x × 11)/(x × 33) ⇒ 2/3 = r1/r2 ⇒ r2 = 3/2 × r1 ⇒ r2 = 3/2 × 14 ⇒ r2 = 21 m ∴ The radius of field two is 21 m. |
