A person observed that he required 30 s time to cross a circular ground along its diameter than to cover it once along the boundary. If his speed was 30m/min, than the radius of the circular ground is (take ? = 22/7)

• A. 10.5 m
• B. 5.5 m
• C. 7.5 m
• D. 3.5 m

Answer: (D)

Let the radius of circular field = r m.Speed of person in m/s = 30/60 = 1/2m/sAccording to the question,[(2?r) /(1/2)] - [(2r)/(1/2)] = 30? 4?r - 4r = 30? [4 x (22/7) - 4]r =30? (125 - 4)r = 30 ? (8.5)r = 30? r = 30/8.5 = 3.5 m
