Question

Mark the correct alternative in the following question:

A car can go 150 km with 25 litres of petrol. How for can it go with 30 litres of petrol?

(a) 180 km (b) 150 km (c) 210 km (d) 160 km

Answer 1

As, the distance travelled by the car with 25 litres of petrol = 150 km

⇒ The distance travelled by the car with 1 litre of petrol = $\frac{150}{25}$ = 6 km

So, the distance travelled by the car with 30 litres of petrol = 6 × 30 = 180 km

Hence, the correct alternative is option (a).
