A.

1.17 km

B.

1.27 km

C.

1.37 km 

D.

1.47 km

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Total distance = 2.87 km
                        = 2.87 × 1000 m
                        = 2870 m
Distance covered = 1500 m

Remaining distance  = 2870 - 1500
                                  = 1370 m

1370 m=13701000=1.37 km
