Correct Answer: 610 m
Solution : Given: A distance of 50 m is covered in 1 minute, 90 m in 2 minutes, and 130 m in 3 minutes. Distance covered in first minute = 50 m Distance covered till 2 minutes = 90 m So distance covered in 2nd minute = (90 – 50) = 40 m Also, the distance covered till 2 minutes = 130 m So distance covered in 3rd minute = (130 – 90) = 40 m This forms an arithmetic progression with first term = 50 and common difference = 40 Then the total distance covered in 15 minutes = 50 + (40 × 14) = 610 m Hence, the correct answer is 610 m.
