Distance travelled in one round will be equal to the circumference of the disc i.e
2 \pi r

Radius=50cm

Circumference=
2 * (22)/(7) * 50cm=> (2200)/(7) cm

If the disc rotates at speed of 100rpm that means it completes 100 rotation in a minute(60 second)

So, in 30 seconds it will complete 50 rotation.

1 rotation =
(2200)/(7) cm


50 rotation=(2200)/(7) * 50cm \\\\ (110000)/(7) cm

Break it in decimal.

Your answer will be 15714.2 cm
