Answer : The correct option is (D).

Explanation :

Given that,

A track begins at 0 meters and has a total distance of 100 meters. Juliet starts at the 10-meter mark while practicing for a race.

We have to find her position after she runs 45 meters.

From the attached figure,

Let A is the position of Juliet. O is the initial point such that OA = 10 m, AB = 45 m and OP = 100 m.

So, using simple mathematics, it is clear that the position of Juliet after running 45 meters will be 55 m. It is OB in the figure.

So, the correct option is (D) " 55 meters ".
