Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: 110/7 min
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Time = distance / speed. For a circular track, distance per lap is circumference = 2πr. Convert units to be consistent.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Total distance = 20 * 100π = 2000π m. Time (hours) = distance / speed. Convert to minutes by ×60.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
220/7 ≈ 31.4286 min; matches π = 22/7 evaluation.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
110/7, 90/7, 230/7 correspond to halved/incorrect circumference or laps.
Common Pitfalls:
Forgetting to multiply by laps; mixing km/h with metres.
Final Answer:
110/7 min (Correction: With π = 22/7, it equals 220/7 min; select 220/7 if available. Given the provided set, 110/7 would be half the correct duration. The accurate value is 220/7 min.)
