Question: 1 / 400

If the first wheel rotates clockwise, in which direction does the 4th wheel rotate?

Clockwise

Anticlockwise

In a system of interlocked wheels, the direction of rotation of each wheel is typically opposite to that of the wheel directly adjacent to it. If the first wheel rotates clockwise, then the second wheel, which is in contact with the first wheel, will rotate in the opposite direction, which is anticlockwise.

Following this pattern, the direction of the wheels continues to alternate. Therefore, the second wheel turns anticlockwise while the third wheel, being adjacent to the second, will rotate clockwise. This alternating pattern continues, so the fourth wheel, which is adjacent to the third wheel that is rotating clockwise, will once again rotate in the opposite direction—anticlockwise.

Thus, the fourth wheel rotates anticlockwise, making that the correct answer to the question.
