A wheel that has 6 cogs is meshed with a larger wheel of 14 cogs. When the smaller wheel has made 21 revolutions, then the number of revolutions mad by the larger wheel is:
4
9
12
49
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the required number of revolutions made by larger wheel be x.

Then, More cogs, Less revolutions (Indirect Proportion)

14 : 6 :: 21 : x       14 x x = 6 x 21

x = 6 x 21
14

x = 9.
