1. After filling the car's fuel tank, adriver drove from P and Q and then to R. He used 2/5 of the fuel driving from P and Q. If he used another 7 gallons to drive from Q to R and still had 1/4 of the tank full, what is the capacity of the tank in gallons?
- A. 20
- B. 20
- C. 20
- D. 20
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Fuel used from Q to R = 1 - (2/5 + 1/4) = 1 - 13/20 = 7/20
Now, 7/20 of capacity = 7 gallons
So, full capacity = 7 x 20/7 = 20 gallons
