Explanation:
The question says "The area of a circular plot is 98 square meters and the diameter of another plot is 10 meters. In which of the two can a person travel a greater distance in a straight line? "
Area of a circle is given by :

r is radius
Put A = 98 in above formula and find r

Distance covered on a circular path,

Diameter of another circle, d = 10 m
Radius, r = 5 m
Distance covered on a circular path,

Hence, in a circle of area 98 square meter, a person can cover greater distance.
