The angular velocity of the engine (and hence of the wheel) of a scooter is proportional to the petrol input per second. The scooter is moving on a frictionless road with uniform velocity. If the petrol input is increased by 10%, the linear velocity of the scooter is increased by

(a) 50%

(b) 10%

(c) 20%

(d) 0%.

(d)  0%.

Explanation: 

With the increase of petrol input the angular velocity of the wheel increases but in the absence of friction on the road, no external force on the scooter is applied. Hence the linear velocity of the scooter is not increased.
