  1. The time required for a boy to travel along the external and internal boundaries of a circular path are in the ratio 20 : 19. If the width of the path be 5 metres, the internal diameter is :
    1. 195 metres
    2. 192 metres
    3. 180 metres
    4. 190 metres
Correct Option: D


More distance, more time (speed is constant)

2π (r + 5)
=
20
2πr19

(r + 5)
=
20
r19

⇒ 20r = 19r + 95
⇒ 20r – 19r = 95
⇒ r = 95 metre
∴ Internal diameter = (2 × 95) metre = 190 metre
