  1. Answer:

    Pankaj covered 30 m more than Pinky.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Pinky runs around a Rectangular park of –

    • Length = 90 m
    • Breadth = 45 m

    Pankaj runs around a Square park of –

    • Side = 75 m

    To compare the distance covered by them, we need to find perimeter of the respective parks.

    Keep in mind that both Pinky and Pankaj ran around the park only once.

    Perimeter of Rectangle =

    ⇒ 2(Length + Breadth)

    ⇒ 2(90 + 45)

    ⇒ 2(135)

    ⇒ 270 m

    Perimeter of the rectangular park = 270 m

    Pinky covered 270 m.

    Perimeter of Square =

    ⇒ Side × 4

    ⇒ 75 × 4

    ⇒ 300 m

    Perimeter of the square park = 300 m

    Pankaj covered 300 m.

    Comparing the distance covered by both =

    • Pankaj = 300 m
    • Pinky = 270 m

    ⇒ 300 > 270

    Distance covered by Pankaj > Distance covered by Pinky

    Pankaj covered more distance.

    ⇒ 300 – 270

    ⇒ 30 m

    Pankaj covered more distance by 30 m.

    Therefore, Pankaj covered 30 m more than Pinky.

  2. Length of a rectangular park= 90m

    Breadth of the park= 45m

    Therefore, perimeter of the rectangular park= 2×(90m+45m)

    = 2× 135 = 270m

    Therefore, Pinky runs around a rectangular park of 270m

    Side of a square park= 75m

    Therefore, Perimeter= 4×s

    = 4×75m

    = 300m

    Therefore, Pankaj runs around a square park of 300m

    Therefore, comparing= 300m, 270m

    Therefore, 300m is greater than 270m, Pankaj ran a greater distance

    By,

    300m-270m

    =30m
