    Question

    All pillars of street light was installed in a straight line at a distance of 50 meter(m) interval. What will be the distance between first and ninth pillar ?

    A.

    410 m

    B.

    450 m

    C.

    420 m

    D.

    400 m

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Distance between two adjacent pillars = 50 m
    Number of pillars = 9
    Formula Used:
    Total Distance = (Number of pillars - 1) × Distance between adjacent pillars
    Solution:
    The number of intervals between the 9 pillars is calculated by subtracting 1 from the total number of pillars.
    Intervals = 9 - 1 = 8
    Total distance = 8 × 50 = 400 m
    Final Answer
    So the correct answer is (d)
