  • Question
  • A man is riding a bike with front and back wheel circumference of 40 inches and 70 inches respectively. If the man rides the bike on a straight road without slippage, how many inches will the man have travelled when the front wheel has made 15 revolutions more than the back wheel?


  • Options
  • A. 1100
  • B. 1300
  • C. 1400
  • D. 1200

  • Correct Answer
  • 1400 

    Explanation

    Given the ratio of the circumference of front wheel  is 40 inches and back wheel is 70 inches. 

     

    Distance covered = Circumference of the wheel × No. of Revolutions made by the wheel

     

    If n is the number of revolutions made by back wheel, the number of revolutions made by front wheel is n+15

     

    Distance covered by both the wheels is the same

     

    i.e, 40*(n+15)=70n

     

     n=20 

     

     

     

                    Front wheel      :      Back Wheel 

     

     Circumference       40      :      70 

     

     Revolutions           35      :      20

     

     

     

    Distance covered  :  40×35 = 70×20 = 1400 inches.
