Correct Answer: 200 metres


Solution :

Let the radius of the inner and outer circumference be $r$ and $R$.
According to the question,
$\frac{2\pi R}{2\pi r}=\frac{5}{4}$
⇒ $\frac{2\pi(r+50)}{2\pi r}=\frac54$
⇒ $4(r+50)=5(r)$
⇒ $4r+200=5r$
⇒ $r = 200$ metres
Hence, the correct answer is 200 metres.
