Question

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

Answer 1

The perimeter of square = 4 × side

= 4 × 75

= 300 m

∴ The distance covered by Sweety is 300 m

Perimeter of rectangular park = 2 (Length + Breadth)

= 2 (60 + 45)

= 2 (105)

= 2 × 105

= 210 m

∴ The distance covered by Bulbul is 210 m

Hence, Bulbul covers less distance than Sweety.
