In a battle, the commander-in-chief arranges his soldiers in a formation of three concentric circles. The radii of the circles are in an arithmetic progression: the smallest radius is 70m (meters) and the largest is 140m.
If each soldier is to be separated from the adjacent soldiers standing on the same circle by 1m, how many soldiers are required to complete the formation? (Consider π = 22/7.)
