Perimeter of tyre can be given as = πD = (22/7) × 21

⇒ Perimeter of tyre = 66 cm = .00066 km

Distance covered by cyclist in 45 minutes or 45/60 hrs can be given as

⇒ 16.5 × (45/60)

⇒ 16.5 × 3/4

Revolution can be given as total distance covered by cycle/perimeter of tyre

⇒ 16.5 × 3/(4 × .00066) = 18750

∴ The total revolutions are 18750
