The wheel of a car has 210 cm diameter. How many revolutions per minute must the wheel make so that the speed of the car is kept at 120 km/h ?
Speed of the car = 120 km/h =Â $$120\times\frac{1000\times100}{60}$$ cm/min = 2,00,000 cm/min
$$\Rightarrow$$ Car has to travel 2,00,000 cm in 1 minute
Diameter of the wheel of the car (d) = 210 cm
Perimeter of the wheel of the car = $$\pi\ d$$ = $$\frac{22}{7}\times210$$ = 660 cm
For one revolution, distance travelled by the car = 660 cm
Number of revolutions made by the car to cover 2,00,000 cm =Â $$\frac{200000}{660}$$ = 303.03
$$\therefore\ $$Number of revolutions made in a minute = 303.03
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
