Question

A truck requires 108 liters of diesel for covering a distance of 594 km. How much diesel will be required by the truck to cover a distance of 1650 km?

• A. 80 liters
• B. 100 liters
• C. 200 liters
• D. 300 liters

Answer 1

The correct option is D

300 liters

For covering 594 km, a truck will require 108 liters of diesel.
For covering 1 km, a truck will require $\frac{108}{594}$ = $\frac{2}{11}$ liters of diesel.
For covering 1650 km, a truck will require $\frac{2}{11}$ $\times$ 1650 = 300 liters of diesel.
Thus, 300 liters diesel will be required by the truck to cover a distance of 1650 km.
