There are two concentric circular track of radii 100m and 102m, respectively . A runs on the inner track and goes once round in 1 min 30 sec, while B runs on the outer track in 1 min 32 sec. Who runs faster?
First let us take out the circumferences of both circles.
Radius of inner circle = 100 m
∴Circumference of the inner track= 2πr
= 2×3.14×100
= 628 m
Radius of outer track= 102 m
So, Circumference of outer track=2πr = 2×3.14×102 = 753.6 m
Time taken by A = 1 min 30 sec = 90 sec
Time taken by B = 1 min 32 sec = 92 sec
Speed of A = Distance covered by A/ Time taken
= 628/90
= 6.98 m/s
Speed of B = Distance covered by B /time taken
=753.6/92
=8.19 m/s
Speed of A is smaller than the speed of B.
So, B runs faster.
