A school is organizing a charity run to raise funds for a local hospital. The run is planned as a series of rounds around a track, with each round being 300 metres. To make the event more challenging and engaging, the organizers decide to increase the distance of each subsequent round by 50 metres. For example, the second round will be 350 metres, the third round will be 400 metres and so on. The total number of rounds planned is 10. ![Illustration showing a circular track with multiple runners in different colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) running around it, symbolizing a race or charity run.](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/homework-question-parsing/marker/20260107T161002Z/056a0423b1174f07b9be80178e5a8f9f/26070f41b834cefd33d293fecdba9868_img.jpg) Based on the information given above, answer the following questions : a.
