Along a road lies an odd number of stones placed at intervals of

10 \mathrm{~m}

. These stones have to be assembled around the middle stone. A person can carry only one stone at a time. A man carried out the job starting with the stone in the middle, carrying stones in succession, thereby covering a distance of

4.8 \mathrm{~km}

. Then, the number of stones is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Option C (31) is correct because the total distance covered is

20n(n+1)

meters, where

n

is the number of stones on each side of the middle stone, and solving for

n

gives

n=15

, so the total number of stones is

2n+1 = 31
