Questions  

In a bicycle the radius of rear wheel is twice the radius of  front wheel. If vF and vr are the speeds of top most points of front and rear wheels respectively, then

a
vr = 2vF
b
vF = 2vr
c
vF = vr
d
vF > vr

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Speed of centres of both the wheels is same as that of cycle. We know speed of top point is double that of centre. So speed of top points of both the wheels should be same. Hence vF = vr.
