Answer
Massimo can not pass the test.
Work Step by Step
We can find the time required to complete the run at an average rate of 4.0 m/s:
$v_{av} = \frac{distance}{time}$
$time = \frac{distance}{v_{av}}$
$time = \frac{1000~m}{4.0~m/s}$
$time = 250~s$
Since Massimo has already used 250 seconds to complete 900 meters, it is impossible for Massimo to complete the run in 250 seconds.
Massimo can not pass the test.
