Solution

The correct option is B
105 km

As the distance to be travelled increases, so does the amount of petrol needed, thus, it is a case of direct proportion.
$\begin{matrix} D i s t a n c e (i n k m) & 363 & y A m o u n t o f p e t r o l (i n l) & 24.2 & 7 \end{matrix}$
$\frac{24.2}{363} = \frac{7}{y} \Rightarrow y = \frac{7 \times 363}{24.2} = 105 k m$
