The correct option is A 5 L

Items in the Ratio

Numbers in the ratio

Values of items used Multiplier

Distance

70 350 5

Volume

1 5 5

Here, ratio of distance covered to volume of petrol is 70 : 1.

We need to find volume of petrol required to cover 350 km.

70 : 1 = 350 : Volume of petrol (since both are equivalent ratios)
70 : 1 = 70 × 5 : Volume of petrol
Volume of petrol = 1 × 5 = 5 litres

Therefore, to cover 350 km, we would need 5 litres of petrol.
