25*3.14=perimeter of small rim
16 rev/sec=16*60 rev/min and one rev=25*3.14 OR distance traveled in one min=25*3.14*16*60
40*3.14=perimeter of large rim
Number of revolutions per minute made by the larger rim=(25*3.14*16*60)/40*3.14=25*16*60/40=25*4*6=600
Answer is A
16 rev/sec=16*60 rev/min and one rev=25*3.14 OR distance traveled in one min=25*3.14*16*60
40*3.14=perimeter of large rim
Number of revolutions per minute made by the larger rim=(25*3.14*16*60)/40*3.14=25*16*60/40=25*4*6=600
Answer is A
