Question

A car requires 25 liters of petrol to cover a distance of 225 km .Find the amount of petrol required to cover a distance of 540 km .

• A. 60 liters
• B. 45 liters
• C. 4850 liters
• D. 850 liters

Answer 1

The correct option is A

60 liters

More the distance , more the petrol

Hence they are directly proportional to each other

Let the amount of petrol required be $x$

Hence $225\times x=540\times 25$

$x=\frac{540\times 25}{225}$

= 60 liters
