Solution

Distance between Mumbai and Delhi $= 1, 429 k m$
Volume of diesel burnt for every $3 k m$ $= 1 l i t r e$
Volume of diesel burnt for every $1 k m = \frac{1}{3} l i t r e$
Volume of diesel burnt for $1, 429 k m$ $= \frac{1, 429}{3} = 476.33 l i t r e$
cost of one litre of diesel $=$ $₹$ $59$
Cost of $476.33 l i t r e s$ of diesel $= 476.33 \times 59 = ₹ 28, 103.47$
Hence,cost of diesel used by truck for traveling from Delhi to Mumbai is $₹ 28, 103.47$
