How long, in minutes, did it take a bicycle wheel to roll along a flat, straight 300-meter path?

(1) The wheel made one full 360-degree rotation every 1.5 meters.
(2) The wheel made 18 360-degree rotations per minute.

The OA is C.

A solution can be as follows,

T= time taken to cover the entire distance
V= velocity
W= frequency = rev per sec
R= radius of wheel

Distance (300)= v * T = (wr)* T
Now w is given in second statement
And r is given in first statement

Hence C is the correct answer.

Has anyone another strategic approach to solving this DS question? Regards!

Yes, this is fine. There is no need to calculate the answer once you are satisfied that the values of all the variables are given and you get a unique value. Sufficient.
