49) How much more does he run?

I don't have the options to this but this I picked this question from TIME question bank. Any opinions?

If r feet be the inner track’s radius, then r + 15 feet would be the radius of the outer track. One lap around either track is same in length as the circumference of the corresponding circle. The number of additional feet can be found when both have taken 10 laps each, and the difference in the lengths covered by each, is our answer, which is

= 10 × 2 × π × (r + 15 – r)

= [spoiler]300 π feet[/spoiler]
