Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2000.

According to the given question,

Calories burnt in jogging 6 km = 300

Calories burnt in jogging 1 km = 300/6 = 50

Total distance jogged in the week = 6 + 5.5 + 5.5 + 7 + 5 + 3.5 + 7.5 = 40 km

Calories burnt in jogging 40 km = 50 × 40 = 2000
