Answer

For Pinky:

Perimeter of rectangular park = 2(length + breadth)

= 2(80 + 55) m

= 2 × 135 m

= 270 m

Distance covered by Pinky in 8 rounds = 8 × 270 m = 2160 m

For Pankaj:

Perimeter of square park = 4 × side

= 4 × 75 m

= 300 m

Distance covered by Pankaj in 7 rounds = 7 × 300 m = 2100 m

Difference in distances covered = 2160 m - 2100 m = 60 m

Hence, Pinky covers more distance by 60 m.
