Concept used:

Circumference of a circle = 2 × π × r

Calculation:

The circumference of of the wheel = 2 × 22/7 × 182 = 1144 cm

Here, the lorry can go 66 km in 60 min, then the lorry can cover in 1 min is = 66/60 = 1.1 km = 110000 cm

Now the wheel of the lorry makes the number of revolutions per min is 110000/1144 = 96.15 ~ 96

∴ The correct answer is 96
