the basic fact to solve this question is 2pie radians make one revolution
angular distance covered by wheel be s
angular accleration be a= – 8 with unit
time be t =5s
initial angular velocity be u =60 again with unit
s=ut-(1/2)at*t
s=300-100=200radians
number of revoltions = 200/2pie
that is 100/pie
