In covering 111 km, a car consumes 6 L of petrol. How many kilometres will it go in 10 L of petrol?

Options

A. 172 km
B. 185 km
C. 205 km
D. 266.4 km

Answer

To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these calculations:

1. **Identify the distance covered per liter of petrol**:
- The car covers 111 km using 6 liters of petrol.
- To find out how many kilometers the car covers per liter, we can divide the total distance by the total liters of petrol:
\[ \text{Distance per liter} = \frac{111 \text{ km}}{6 \text{ L}} = 18.5 \text{ km/L} \]

2. **Calculate the distance covered in 10 liters of petrol**:
- Now that we know the car covers 18.5 km for each liter of petrol, we can find out how far it will go with 10 liters:
\[ \text{Distance in 10 L} = 18.5 \text{ km/L} \times 10 \text{ L} = 185 \text{ km} \]

3. **Conclusion**:
- Therefore, the car will cover a distance of 185 km when it has 10 liters of petrol.
