Detailed Solution

Given,
Distance covered using 34 liters of diesel =510  km.
Let the distance covered using 20 liters of diesel be x km.
Then,

Quantity of diesel (in liters)

34

20

Distance(in km)

 

510

x

We can clearly observe that, less the quantity of diesel less will be the distance covered. Therefore, this is the case of direct proportion.
As this is a case of direct proportion, therefore the ratio will remain constant throughout the table that is,
34 510 = 20 x   Cross multiplying,
  34×x=20×510   Solving for x,
34x=10200 x= 10200 34 x=300   Hence, the distance covered in 20 liters of diesel is 300 km.
Therefore, option 2 is correct.
