Solution:
Given, radius of wheel, r = 35 cm
Circumference of the wheel = 2πr
= 2 x \((\frac { 22 }{ 7 } )\) x 35 = 220 cm
But speed of the wheel = 66 kmh-1
= \((\frac { 66 x 1000 }{ 60 } )\) m/ mm
= 1100 x 100 cm min-1
= 110000 cm min-1
∴ Number of revolutions in 1 min
= \((\frac { 110000 }{ 220 } )\)= 500 revolution
Hence, required number of revolutions per minute is 500.

A circular pond is of diameter 17.5 m. It is surrounded by a 2 m wide path. Find the cost of constructing the path at the rate of ₹25 per square metre (Use π = 3.14) [CBSE 2014]
Solution:
Diameter of circular pond (d) = 17.5 m
Radius (r) =\((\frac { 1725 }{ 2 } )\) = 8.75 m
Width of path = 2m
∴ Radius of outer cirlce (R) = 8.75 + 2 = 10.75 m
Area of path = (R2 – r2)π
= [(10.75)2 – (8.75)2](3.14)
= 3.14(10.75 + 8.75) (10.75 – 8.75)
= 3.14 x 19.5 x 2 = 122.46 m2
Cost of 1 m2 for constructing the path ₹25 m2
∴ Total cost = ₹ 122.46 x 25 = ₹3061.50

Solution:
Width of the road = 7 m
Circumference of the park = 352 m
Let r be the radius, then 2πr = 352
Question 31.
Prove that the area of a circular path of uniform width hsurrounding a circular region of radius r is πh(2r + h).
Solution:
Radius of inner circle = r
Width of path = h
∴ Outer radius (R) = (r + h)
∴ Area of path = πR2 – πr2
= π {(r + h)2 – r2}
= π {r2 + h2 + 2rh – r2}
= π {2rh + h2}
= πh (2r + h) Hence proved.
