Given -

• A car travels 240 km on 20 L of petrol

To Find -

• How many Litres of petrol is needed to travel 600 Km

Now,

If Car travels 240 km in 20 L of petrol

Then,

The car travels 1 km in 20/240 L of petrol.

Then,

Petrol needed to travel 600 km

20/240 × 600

20/24 × 60

20/4 × 10

5 × 10

= 50 L

Hence,

50 L of petrol is needed to travel 600 km.

$\mathsf{Petrol\: needed\: for\: 1km\: =\: \frac{20}{240} }$

$\mathsf{Petrol\: needed\: for\: 600km\: =\: \frac{20}{240} \times 600}$

$\mathsf{Petrol\: needed\: =\: \frac{20}{4} \times 10}$

$\mathsf{Petrol\: needed\: = \: 5 \times 10}$

$\large\purple{\boxed{\sf{Ans=50L}}}$
