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?
Solution:
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 x 5 = 15 m
Hence, the distance covered by the cart is 15 m.
