Thanks for your questions. Your problem was –

If a man drives a car at a speed of 50 km per hour; then calculate the distance covered by the man in 10 minutes if he is driving at the same speed constantly.

your Correct answer: d
Let’s we see how?
I’m trying to solve your problem and explain in details.  now let’s see –

Your question’s details Explanation:

It is given that man is driving at a speed of 50 km/hr for 10 minutes.
We know that, distance = speed * time———(i)

After substituting the value of speed and time in this formula we get,
Distance = 50 km/hr * 10 minutes——-(ii)

Now, 1 hour = 60 minutes Therefore, x hours = 10 minutes → x = 10 / 60 → x = 0.1667 hours.

Now, substituting the value of ‘x’ in equation (ii), we get,
Distance = 50km/hr * 0.1667 hr
∴ Distance = 8.335 km
Hence, the correct answer is option d.
