(A) 100xy
(B) 100y - x
(C) 100x - y
(D) 100y/x
(E) 100x/y
Ans: D?
(A) 100xy

Ans: D?
1 Rev of Second wheel = 1 Circumference of Wheel = Pi y
No. of Revolution x Distance traveled in 1 Rev = Total Distance Traveled
No. of Revolution of Second Wheel = d / Pi y
But The first wheel covers a distance of d feet in 100 revolutions
i.e. d = 100 Pi x
Therefore,
No. of Revolution of Second Wheel = d / Pi y = 100 pi x / Pi y = 100 x / y
Answer: Option E

Answer is E.
Distance Travelled = Circumference of wheel * Number of revolutions of wheel.
pie * x * 100 = d = pie * y * r
r = 100x/y
E
Distance Travelled = Circumference of wheel * Number of revolutions of wheel.
pie * x * 100 = d = pie * y * r
r = 100x/y
