since radius of bicycle wheel is 50 cm

radius(r)=diameter/2

=50/2

=25 cm

=0.25m  (since 1 m=100cm)

1km=1000m

1 revolution=Circumference of wheel

=2×pi×r

=2×0.25×22÷7

=0.5×3.14

=1.57m

No. of revolutions =Total Distance/circumference

=3000/1.57

=1910.83 revolutions

complete rotations= 1911
