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?
5km
6km
7km
3km

Explanation

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
