Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Distance covered in 1 revolution = Circumference of wheel $ =2\pi r=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 20,cm $ Total distance = 176 m = 17600 cm

$ \therefore $ Number of revolutions $ =\frac{17600}{2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 20} $ $ =\frac{17600\times 7}{2\times 22\times 20}=140 $
