Question

The circumference of the front wheel of a cart is 3 m long and that of the back wheel is 4 m long. What is the distance travelled by the cart, when the front wheel makes five more revolutions than the rear wheel?

Answer 1

Given, circumference of front wheel = 3 m

Now, distance covered by front wheel of the cart in 1 revolution = Circumference of front wheel.

.^.. Distance covered by front wheel in 5 revolutions = 3 × 5 = 15 m

Hence, the distance covered by the cart is 15 m.
