Solution

The correct option is D 60 L
More petrol will be required for more distance covered. So, this is a case of direct proportion.
$\begin{matrix} D i s t a n c e t r a v e l l e d (k m) & 225 & 540 P e t r o l r e q u i r e d (l i t r e s) & 25 & x \end{matrix}$

Then,
$\frac{225}{25} = \frac{540}{x} x = \frac{540 \times 25}{225} x = 60 l i t r e s$ .
