Correct Answer: 300 metres


Solution :
Let the radius of the inner and outer circumference be $r$ and $R$.
$R=r+40$
According to the question,
$\frac{2\pi R}{2\pi r}=\frac{17}{15}$
$⇒\frac{(r+40)}{r}=\frac{17}{15}$
$⇒15r+600=17r$
$⇒2r=600$
$\therefore r = 300$ metres
Hence, the correct answer is 300 metres.
