Correct Answer: 26.25 m


Solution : Distance covered in one revolution = Circumference of circular field = $2\pi r$
Speed of horse = 66 m/sec
Time = $2\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{5}{2}$ sec
Distance covered = 66 × $\frac{5}{2}$ = 165 m
Distance covered = circumference of the circle = $2\pi r$
⇒ $165 = 2\pi r$
⇒ $165 = 2×\frac{22}{7}×r$
⇒ $r = \frac{165×7}{2×22}$
= 26.25
Hence, the correct answer is 26.25 m.
