The circumference of a circular track is 9km. A cyclist rides round it a number of times and stops after covering a distance of 302km. How far is the cyclist from the starting point?
A
5km
B
6km
C
7km
D
3km
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Circumference of the circular track = 9km
Distance covered = 302km
Number of complete circles or revolutions from the starting point = 302/9 =33 circles and additional 5km.
So, the distance of the cyclist from the starting point would be 5km
