Question

A car travels 432 km on 48 litres of petrol. How far would it travel in 20 litres of petrol?

• A. 170 km
• B. 175 km
• C. 180 km
• D. 190 km

Answer 1

The correct option is C

180 km

Let the distance covered by the car be $xkm$.

$\Rightarrow \frac{48}{20}=\frac{432}{x}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{20\times 432}{48}$

$\Rightarrow x=180km$

Hence, the car can cover 180 km in 20 litres of petrol.
