Question
Usha and Valsamma are running a race. Usha is running on the inner circle. Valsamma is running on the outer circle.
- Valsamma runs faster than Usha. But still she loses the race. Can you guess why?
- Have you seen any race where runners start from different places – like in this picture? Guess why?
Solution
- Because inner circle has shorter boundary than outer circle. And Valsamma runs on the outer circle so, she has to cover more length. Because of this she loses the race.
- Yes I have seen the race which is organized in such circular track. Such arrangement is made to distances equal.
