1.4 sec.

Front wheel completes 1 revolution in 3.5/15=7/10 sec.
Back wheel completes 1 revolution in 3/15=1/5 sec.
So minimum time to complete a whole number of turns=LCM (7/10, 1/5) = 7/5 = 1.4 sec.
In 1.4 sec front wheel makes (7/5)/(7/10)=2 revolutions and
back wheel makes (7/5)/(1/5)=7 revolutions.
