A cyclist covers a distance of 170 meters in 17 seconds. The time taken by the cyclist to cover the distance of 6 km, shall be how much?

10 minutes

The correct answer is Option (3) → 10 minutes

Speed of the cyclist:

$\text{Speed} = \frac{170 \text{ m}}{17 \text{ s}} = 10 \text{ m/s}$

Distance to be covered = 6 km = 6000 m

Time taken:

$\text{Time} = \frac{6000}{10} = 600 \text{ s}$

Convert seconds to minutes:

$600 \div 60 = 10 \text{ minutes}$
