The circumference of a circular track is 9km.A cyclist rides round it a number of times and stops after covering a distance of 302km.

Question

How far is the cyclist from the starting point?

Answer 1

We need the remainder after dividing the circumference into the distance he rode: 302/9.

We don’t need to do the division to get the remainder because it’s just the sum of the digits 3+0+2=5km.

So he ends up 4km from the starting point because it’s a circular track, and 4+5=9km.
