An athlete loops a regular hexagonal field of side 50 meters. If his speed is 15 km/h, find the time taken to complete one full lap. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

An athlete loops a regular hexagonal field of side 50 meters. If his speed is 15 km/h, find the time taken to complete one full lap.
A. 90 seconds
B. 80 seconds
C. 72 seconds
D. 64 seconds
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Perimeter of the hexagonal field = 6 * 50 = 300 meters. Speed = 15 km/h = 15 * (5/18) = 25/6 m/s. Time = Distance / Speed = 300 / (25/6) = 300 * 6 / 25 = 12 * 6 = 72 seconds.
