Distance covered in 1 revolution = circumference = 251.42cm 
Distance covered in 6 revolutions 
= 6 x Distance covered in 1 revolution

Editor's Notes

  • #3  Let us take a look at the first question, A tyre rotates 25000 times to cover a distance of 90 km. Find its radius. In this questn, we have been given that the tyre rotates 25000 times covering a distance of 90 km What we need to find is the radius of the tyre.
  • #4 Lets see the solution, Firstly, let r be the radius, We know that, circum of the wheel is = to distance cov in 1 rotan We also know the formula for circum which is 2 pir r. the distance vovered in 1 rotatn is 360 cm. We get 360 cm in the follow manner, We nned to convert 90 km into cm, = 9 x 1000 x 100 cm = 9000000 25000 which is the no. of tyms the wheel rotates = 360 cm
  • #5 By substituting, pie byu 22/7, we get
  • #10 The next question says that, A wheel of a bicycle makes 6 revolutions per second. If the diameter of the wheel is 80 cm, find its speed. Lets see what is given to us, We have been given, no. of revolutions per second which r 6 And the diameter which is 80 cm We need to find out the speed. Now, do you know the formula for speed??? The formula is speed = dist/ time
  • #11 Let us see the solution,
  • #12 Now, we need to find the distance covered in 4 revolutions…. Since distance covered by 1 revolution is 251.42 cm , the distance covered by 6 revolutions is 6x 251.42 cm =1508.52 cm = 15.08 m Now finally………we can find the speed which is distance / time =15.08 m 1 second =15.08x18 km/h (18/5 is obtained by conerrting meter/sec intio km/hr= 60x60= 18/5 5 100 =54.28 km/h
  • #14 Let us take a look at the next question, The question says that Find the radius of the circle whose perimeter and area are numerically equal. In this question we have been given, that the perimeter and the area of the circle are equal. We need to find the radius of the circle. Lets us come to the solution. Let us first represent r to be the radius of the circle. We know that the area of the circle is πr2 and its perimeter = 2πr We have be given that the area of the circle is equal to its perimeter.
  • #15 Thus, by using the formulas we get, πr2 = 2πr By taking 2pie r on LHS, we get, πr2 - 2πr = 0 By taking pie r common, we get, πr(r-2) = 0 Now, Either πr = 0 or r-2 = 0 But pie r cannot be 0 as for it to be 0, r should b 0 since we know that pie is 22/7, In a circle r can never be 0. thus r = 0 is rejected. Thus, r = 2 Hence………………..
