Question

The radius of a wheel is 0.25 m. The number of revolutions it will make to travel a distance of 11 km will be

(a) 2800

(b) 4000

(c) 5500

(d) 7000

Answer 1

We have given the radius of the wheel that is 0.25 cm.

We know that distance covered by the wheel in one revolution.

Distance covered by the wheel in one revolution is equal to the circumference of the wheel.

………(1)

Distance moved is given as 11 km so we will first convert it to m.

11 km = 11000 m

Now we will substitute the values in equation (1),

Now we will substitute.

Simplifying equation (1) we get,

Therefore, it will make revolutions to travel a distance of 11 km.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
