    An insect moves along a circular path of radius \[10\,\,cm\] with a constant speed. If it takes \[1\] minute to move from a point on the path to the diametrically opposite point, then what is the distance it travels and average velocity of the insect respectively?

    A) \[3.14\,\,cm{{(\min )}^{-1}},\,\,20\,\,cm{{(\min )}^{-1}}\]

    B) \[31.4\,\,cm{{(\min )}^{-1}},\,\,0.33\,\,cm\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]  

    C) \[0.314\,\,cm{{(\min )}^{-1}},\,\,1\,\,cm{{(\min )}^{-1}}\]

    D) \[314\,\,cm{{(\min )}^{-1}},\,\,0.1\,\,cm{{(\min )}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Distance\[=\pi r=3.14\times 10=31.4\,\,cm\], Displacement\[=2r=2\times 10=20\,\,cm\] Average velocity\[=\frac{S}{t}=\frac{20\,\,cm}{60\,\,s}\]\[=0.33\,\,cm\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\]
