A driving wheel of a gear has a radius of and 32 teeth along its circumference. If the driven wheel has 8 rotations, for every one rotation of the driving wheel, calculate:-
(i) Number of teeth on the driven wheel;
(ii) radius of the driven wheel.
Submit your answer as the sum of the answers obtained in (i) and (ii)(in cm).

No. of rotations of driven wheel = 8 .
No. of rotations of driving wheel = 1 .!!! No. of teeth of driving wheel = 3 2 . Radius of the driving wheel = 1 6 c m
(i) No. of teeth in driving wheel No. of teeth in driven wheel = No. of rotations in driven wheel No. of rotations in driving wheel 3 2 No. of teeth in driven wheel = 8 1 ∴ No. of teeth in driven wheel = 8 3 2 = 4
(ii) Radius of driving wheel Radius of driven wheel = No. of rotations in driven wheel No. of rotations in driving wheel 1 6 c m Radius of driven wheel = 8 1 Radius of driven wheel = 8 1 6 = 2 c m
∴ , The answer is 2 + 4 = 6 .
