Correct answer: C. 39km
- A. 4km
- B. 17km
- C. 39km
- D. 56km
Explanation
We can judge how far the coach travelled by picking up a data point common in both signs. In the first sign, Targen is at a distance of 7km from the coach, whereas in the second sign, Targen is at a distance of 46km from the coach.How far Gemma has travelled = 46km - 7km = 39kmTherefore, Option C is the answer.
