How many times, correct to the nearest whole number, will a man run round a circular track of diameter 100m to cover a distance of 1000m?
A.
3
B.
4
C.
5
D.
6
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation
In terms of distance, a circle has a total distance or perimeter of 2πr or πd
Where r is radius and d is the diameter
So perimeter = 22/7 x 100
= 314.2857m
To cover a distance of 1000m, he is going to round the circular track for 1000/314.2857
= 3.18
≊ 3 (to the nearest whole number)
