Correct Answer: 250 m


Solution : Reema runs $\frac{5}{4}$ times as fast as Rekha
Rekha gives a lead of 50 m to Reema
Let's assume
Reema runs 5 metres for every 4 metres Rekha runs.
Rekha  has a lead of 1 m than Reema.
According to the question, Rekha gives a lead of 50 m to Reema
Then Reema will have this lead by covering 50 × 5 = 250 m
They will meet at a point 250 m from the starting point.
Hence, the correct answer is 250 m.
