Solution

(c) 1000

Radius of the wheel = 1.75 m
Circumference of the wheel = 2πr
= 2×227×1.75cm = (2 × 22 × 0.25) m = 11 m

Distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution is 11 m.
Now, 11 m is covered by the car in 1 revolution.
(11 × 1000) m will be covered by the car in 1×111×11×1000 revolutions, i.e. 1000 revolutions.
∴ Required number of revolutions = 1000
