The wheels of a car are of radius 40 cm each. If the car is travelling at a speed of 66 km per hour, find the number of revolutions made by each wheel in 20 minute.

distance traveled by car in 1 revolution = 2*pi*r = 80 pi cm
no of revolutions in 1 hour 66*1000*100 cm/80 pi = 82500 pi
No of revolutions per 20 minutes(1/3 ) hr = 1/3 * 82500 pi =863938
