Since Fred is running along the circular track and sweeps 54 degrees
in a minute, in 24 minutes Fred will sweep a total of 54 * 24 degrees.

We know that one lap of a circular ground is exactly 360 degree.

Therefore, Fred will do $$\frac{54 * 24}{360} = \frac{18}{5}$$laps (Option A) in 24 minutes.
