The price of petrol shot up by 5%. Before the hike, the price was Rs. 82 per litre. A man travels 3045 km every month and his car gives a mileage of 15 km per litre. What is the increase in the monthly expenditure (to the nearest Rs.) on the man's travel due to the hike in the petrol prices?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
Before hike price → Rs. 82 per litre
5% → $$\frac{{82 \times 5}}{{100}}$$ = Rs. 4.1 per litre
Distance = 3045 km
Petrol use = $$\frac{{3045}}{{15}}$$ = 203
Increase expenditure = 203 × 4.1 = 832.3 = Rs. 832
5% → $$\frac{{82 \times 5}}{{100}}$$ = Rs. 4.1 per litre
Distance = 3045 km
Petrol use = $$\frac{{3045}}{{15}}$$ = 203
Increase expenditure = 203 × 4.1 = 832.3 = Rs. 832
