Choose the correct choice from the following options: A) 96.7 m B) 120 m C) 130 m D) 150 m E) none of these

Rationale: "explanation : solution : relative speed = ( 9 - 8 ) = 1 km / hr . distance covered in 3 minutes = ( 1 * 5 / 60 ) km = 1 / 12 km = 83.3 m . . ' . distance between the criminal and policeman = ( 180 - 83.3 ) m = 96.7 m . answer : a"
Answer: A
