A train 1.5 litres of fuel for every 45km journey. if the train completes a journey of 1200km. how many litres of fuel has been consumed



Answer :

The quantity of fuel consumed by the train is 400 litres.

In this question,

Direct proportion or direct variation is the relation between two quantities where the ratio of the two is equal to a constant value. If one quantity is increased or decreased then the other quantity increases or decreases, respectively.

A train consumes fuel = 1.5 litres

Distance covered by the train = 45km

Then for 1 km, quantity of fuel consumed by train = [tex]\frac{1.5}{45}[/tex]

Here, it follows the direct variation. As distance increases, quantity of fuel consumption also increases. Thus,

Quantity of fuel consumed by train for 1200km is

⇒ [tex]1200(\frac{1.5}{45} )[/tex]

⇒ 400 litres

Hence we can conclude that the quantity of fuel consumed by the train is 400 litres.
