    Niharika walks thrice around a square field of side 22 m. Girish walks twice around a rectangular field with length 10 m and breadth 12m. Who covers more distance and by how much?

    A)  Girish, 20 m

    B)  Niharika, 200 m

    C)  Girish, 176m

    D)  Niharika, 176 m

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Side of square field = 22 m Perimeter of square field \[=4\times 22=88\text{ }m\] Length of rectangular field \[\text{= 10 m}\] Breadth of rectangular field = 12 m Perimeter of rectangular field =2(10+12) = 2(22) = 44 m \[\therefore \] Distance covered by Niharika \[=3\times 88\] = 264 m And distance covered by Girish \[=2\times 44\] = 88 m So, Niharika covers more distance than Girish and by (264 - 88) m = 176 m.
