Question

A truck required 108 litre 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?

Answer 1

For 594 km truck required 108 liye
So,for 1 km truck will require 108÷594

Then for 1650 km truck will require=108÷594×1650
=300litre

Answer 2

Let the petrol required to cover distance of 1650km be x litre
Then the table will be like this in picture
Since,Less distance,less petrol and more distance,more petrol
therefore,both the qty's are in direct variation
We have,594/108=1650/x
by cross-multiplication,594x=1650×108
So,x=1650×108/594=300l
Hence,truck can cove 1650km in 300litre petrol
