# My Scooty gives an average of 40 kmpl of petrol But…

Are you looking for correct answer of My Scooty gives an average of 40 kmpl of petrol But…? Here we have shared detailed answer with explanations.

### 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 $$\frac{2}{3}$$  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?

1. A. Rs. 1.75
2. B. Rs. 1.80
3. C. Rs. 2
4. D. Rs. 2.30

### Solution(By ExamCraze Team)

Let x ml of kerosene be there in 1 litre mixture.
Then, quantity of petrol in 1 litre mixture = (1000 - x) ml
$$therefore frac{{40}}{{1000}}left( {1000 - x} right)$$   $$+ frac{{18}}{{900}}x$$   = 38
eqalign{ & Rightarrow frac{x}{{25}} - frac{x}{{50}} = 2 cr & Rightarrow frac{x}{{50}} = 2 cr & Rightarrow x = 100 cr}
So, 1 litre mixture has 900 ml petrol and 100 ml kerosene.
Cost of 1 litre petrol = Rs. 30
Cost of 1 litre kerosene
= Rs. $$left[ {left( {1 - frac{2}{3}} right) times 30} right]$$
= Rs. 10
Coast of 1 litre mixture
= Rs. $$left( {frac{{30}}{{1000}} times 900 + frac{{10}}{{1000}} times 100} right)$$
= Rs. 28
∴ Additional amount earned by pump-owner
= Rs. (30 - 28)
= Rs. 2
