    Using Rule 7,
    Distance covered by wheel in one revolution
    = Circumference of wheel

    = π × diameter =
    440
    1000

    22
    × diameter =

    Using Rule 7,
    Distance covered by wheel in one revolution =

    Circumference of wheel =
    11000
    =
    11
    metre
    50005

    =
    11
    × 100 cm = 220 cm
    5

    ∴ 2πr = 220
    ⇒ 2 ×
    22
    × r = 220 cm

    ⇒ r =
    220 × 7
    = 35 cm

  1. Three circles of diameter 10 cm each, are bound together by a rubber band, as shown in the figure.

    The length of the rubber band, (in cm) if it is stretched as shown, is

    Length of the rubber band = 3d + 2πr
    = (30 + 10π) cm

    Correct Option: B

    Length of the rubber band = 3d + 2πr
    = (30 + 10π) cm


  1. If a chord of length 16 cm is at a distance of 15 cm from the centre of the circle, then the length of the chord of the same circle which is at a distance of 8 cm from the centre is equal to
