Q. My Scooty gives an average of 40 kmpl of petrol. But after recent filling at the new petrol pump, its average dropped to 38 kmpl. I investigated and found out that it was due to adulterated petrol. Petrol pimps add kerosene, which is 2/3 cheaper than petrol, to increase their profits. Kerosene generates excessive smoke and knocking and gives an average of 18 km per 900 ml. If I paid Rs. 30 for a litre of petrol, What was the additional amount the pump-owner was making?

  • (A) Rs. 1.75
  • (B) Rs. 1.80
  • (C) Rs. 2
  • (D) Rs. 2.30
  • Correct Answer - Option(C)
