Question Detail
The wheel of a motorcycle, 70 cm in diameter makes 40 revolutions in every 10 seconds. What is the speed of the motorcycle in km/hr
- 30.68 km/hr
- 31.68 km/hr
- 32.68 km/hr
- 33.68 km/hr
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In this type of question, we will first calculate the distance covered in given time.
Distance covered will be, Number of revolutions * Circumference
So we will be having distance and time, from which we can calculate the speed. So let solve.
Radius of wheel = 70/2 = 35 cm
Distance covered in 40 revolutions will be
\begin{aligned}
\text{40 * Circumference } \\
= \text{40 * 2*\pi*r } \\
= 40 * 2* \frac{22}{7}* 35 \\
= 8800 cm \\
= \frac{8800}{100} m = 88 m\\
\text{Distance covered in 1 sec =}\\
\frac{88}{10} \\
= 8.8 m \\
Speed = 8.8 m/s \\
= 8.8*\frac{18}{5} = 31.68 km/hr
\end{aligned}
