The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how long it takes for the man to complete one full revolution of the circular track given that he covers \( \frac{4}{5} \) of the track in \( m \) minutes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the distance covered**: The man covers \( \frac{4}{5} \) of the circular track in \( m \) minutes. 2. **Determine the time for the full track**: Since \( \frac{4}{5} \) of the track takes \( m \) minutes, we can find the time for the entire track (1 full revolution) by setting up a proportion. The relationship can be expressed as: \[ \text{Time for full track} = \frac{\text{Time for } \frac{4}{5} \text{ track}}{\frac{4}{5}} = \frac{m}{\frac{4}{5}} \] 3. **Simplify the expression**: To simplify \( \frac{m}{\frac{4}{5}} \), we multiply \( m \) by the reciprocal of \( \frac{4}{5} \): \[ \frac{m}{\frac{4}{5}} = m \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{5m}{4} \] 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the time taken to complete one full revolution around the circular track is \( \frac{5m}{4} \) minutes. ### Final Answer: The man takes \( \frac{5m}{4} \) minutes to complete one revolution around the entire track. ---
