If Naresh walks 250 steps to cover a distance of 200 metres, find the distance travelled in 350 steps.

Solution:

Number of Steps    Distance Covered

250                             200 metres

350                                x = ?

If one covers a distance of 200 metres by taking 250 steps. Then the distance covered by taking 350 steps will be more, which is a direct variation. Therefore,

x = 200 × (350/250)

x = 280 metres

✦ Try This: If Naresh walks 300 steps to cover a distance of 250 metres, find the distance travelled in 250 steps.

Number of Steps       Distance Covered

300                                 250 metres

240                                    x = ?

If one covers a distance of 250 metres by taking 300 steps. Then the distance covered by taking 250 steps will be lesser only. Therefore,

x = 250 × (240/300)

x = 25 × 8 metres

x = 200 metres
