the front tire of a motorcycle has a diameter of 50 cm (0.5m),
Number of revolutions = distance in meters/ number of meters /revolution
= 1000/pi*0.5
number of revolutions it will make if it is pushed 1km 159

.

The circumference of the wheel is  pi%2Ad = 3.14*0.5 meters.


The number of revolutions = distance%2Fcircumference = 1000%2F%283.14%2A0.5%29 = 636.94    ANSWER

Solved.

At this forum,  I just said once that so called  "tutor"  @mananth can not work alone.

He needs two assistants:  one to read the problem for him,  and another to check after him.
