Question

A man takes 12 minutes to complete one round of a circular track around a park. If the speed of the man is 1 m/sec, then what is the distance of the circular track?

• A. 600 metre
• B. 720 metre
• C. 780 metre
• D. 900 metre

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Calculating the Distance Traveled by the Man 

Given Data:

• Speed of the man = 1 m/sec
• Time taken to complete one round = 12 minutes

Step 1: Convert Time to Seconds

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, the total time in seconds is:

\[ 12 \times 60 = 720 \text{ seconds} \]

Step 2: Calculate the Distance

The formula for distance traveled is:

\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} \]

Substituting the given values:

\[ \text{Distance} = 1 \times 720 = 720 \text{ metres} \]

Final Answer:

Thus, the correct answer is (B) 720 metres.
