Question

35. A car consumes 5 litres of petrol in running 95 kilometres. How many kilometres will it run
if it consumes 12 litres?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

using unitary method

distance covered with 5 l =95 km

distance covered with 1l =95/5

distance covered with 12 l= 95/5 *12=228km

Answer 2

Kilometres travelled using 5 litres of petrol = 95 km

Kilometres travelled using 1 litre of petrol = 95/5 = 19 km

Therefore, kilometres travelled using 12 litres of petrol = 19 * 12 = 228 km

Therefore a car will travel 228 km if it consumes 12 litres of petrol
