Given:

Number of rounds = 420

Total distance = 4.2 km

Formula used:

Circumfrence of circle = 2πr

Total distance = Numbers of rounds × Distance covered in 1 round

Diameter = 2 × Radius

Calculation:

1 km = 1000 m

⇒ 4.2 km = 4.2 × 1000 = 4200 m

According to question

⇒ 4200 = 420 × 2πr

⇒ 2r × 22/7 = 10

⇒ 2r = 3.18 m 

∴ Correct answer diameter is 3.18 m
