The Wheels
A friend of mine in Bangalore owns a horse-driven
carriage. It was found that the fore wheels of the
carriage make four more revolutions than the hind
wheel in going 96 feet. However, it was also found that
if the circumference of the fore wheel was 3/, as great
and of the hind wheel 4/3 as great, then the fore wheel
would make only 2 revolutions more than hind wheel
in going the same distance of 96 feet.
Can you find the circumference of each wheel?

if is a matter of common knowledge that 0°C is the
same as 32°F. It is also a known fact that 100°C equals
212°F. But there is a temperature that gives the same
reading on both Centigrade and Fahrenheit scales.
Can you find this temperature?
