Answer

Given:

Length of the park = 104 m

Breadth of the park = 56 m

Speed of Anjali = 4 km/h

Number of rounds = 5

Perimeter of rectangular park = 2(length + breadth)

= 2(104 + 56) m

= 2 × 160 m

= 320 m

Total distance covered in 5 rounds = 5 × 320 m = 1600 m

Speed of Anjali = 4 km/h = 4 × 1000 m/h = 4000 m/h

So, Anjali covers 4000 m in 60 minutes.

∴ Anjali covers 1 m in 604000\dfrac{60}{4000} minutes.

∴ Anjali covers 1600 m in (604000×1600)\Big(\dfrac{60}{4000} \times 1600\Big) minutes

=60×16004000=960004000=24 minutes= \dfrac{60 \times 1600}{4000}\\[1em] = \dfrac{96000}{4000}\\[1em] = 24 \text{ minutes}

Hence, Anjali takes 24 minutes in making 5 rounds of the park.
