The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find out how far the wagon has traveled when the front wheels have made 10 more revolutions than the back wheels. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Circumference of the Wheels:** - The circumference of the front wheels = \(2\pi\) m - The circumference of the back wheels = \(3\pi\) m 2. **Let the Number of Revolutions of the Back Wheels be \(x\):** - Since the front wheels have made 10 more revolutions than the back wheels, the number of revolutions of the front wheels = \(x + 10\). 3. **Calculate the Distance Travelled by Each Set of Wheels:** - Distance travelled by the back wheels = Circumference × Number of Revolutions \[ \text{Distance by back wheels} = 3\pi \times x \] - Distance travelled by the front wheels = Circumference × Number of Revolutions \[ \text{Distance by front wheels} = 2\pi \times (x + 10) \] 4. **Set the Distances Equal:** - Since the wagon travels the same distance regardless of which wheels are considered, we can set the distances equal to each other: \[ 3\pi x = 2\pi (x + 10) \] 5. **Simplify the Equation:** - Distributing \(2\pi\) on the right side: \[ 3\pi x = 2\pi x + 20\pi \] - Rearranging the equation: \[ 3\pi x - 2\pi x = 20\pi \] \[ \pi x = 20\pi \] 6. **Solve for \(x\):** - Dividing both sides by \(\pi\): \[ x = 20 \] - This means the back wheels have made 20 revolutions. 7. **Calculate the Distance Travelled by the Wagon:** - Using the number of revolutions of the back wheels to find the distance: \[ \text{Distance} = 3\pi \times 20 = 60\pi \text{ meters} \] ### Final Answer: The wagon has travelled \(60\pi\) meters.
