Solution Hint

Radius of circle = 8 cm

Diameter of circle = 16 cm = diagonal of the square

Let “a” be the triangle side, and the hypotenuse is 16 cm

Using Pythagoras theorem, we can write

16² = a² + a² ⇒ 256 = 2a² ⇒ a² = 256/2 ⇒ a² = 128 = Area of a Square

(a) 50
(b) 100
(c) 500
(d) 1000
Ans: c
Solution Hint
Circumference of the wheel = 2πr = 2 × (22/7) × 35 = 220 cm
Speed of the wheel = 66 km/hr = (66 × 1000)/60 m/min
= 1100 × 100 cm/min = 110000 cm/min 

Number of revolutions in 1 min = 110000/220 = 500
