Correct Answer: 15.84


Solution : Use :
C = $\pi$ × d, where, C is the Circumference of the circle, d is the diameter
According to the question
C = $\pi$ × d = $\frac{22}{7}$ × 42 = 132 cm
$\therefore$ Total distance
= Distance per revolution × Number of revolutions
= 132 cm × 12 revolutions
= 1584 cm
= 15.84 metres
Hence, the correct answer is 15.84.
