Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The cyclist covers a distance of 170 meters in 17 seconds.

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Speed = 170 ÷ 17

Speed = 10 meters/second


The distance to cover is 6 km. Converting to meters:

6 km = 6 × 1000

6 km = 6000 meters


Time = Distance ÷ Speed

Time = 6000 ÷ 10

Time = 600 seconds


Converting to minutes:

Time = 600 ÷ 60

Time = 10 minutes

Therefore, the cyclist will take 10 minutes to cover 6 km.
