Problem

Let $r$ be the speed in miles per hour at which a wheel, $11$ feet in circumference, travels. If the time for a complete rotation of the wheel is shortened by $\frac{1}{4}$ of a second, the speed $r$ is increased by $5$ miles per hour. Then $r$ is:

$\text{(A) } 9 \quad \text{(B) } 10 \quad \text{(C) } 10\frac{1}{2} \quad \text{(D) } 11 \quad \text{(E) } 12$

Solution

$\fbox{B}$
