The tank full of petrol in Haroon’s motorcycle lasts for 10 days, if he starts using 25% more every day for how many days will the tank full of petrol last?
Answer: 8 days
Explanation
Let us assume that Haroon uses X units of petrol everyday.
So the amount of petrol in the tank when it is fuel will be 10X.
If he started using 25% more petrol every day, then the amount of petrol he how uses everyday will be
X (1 +25/100) =1.25x
Therefore, number of days his petrol will how last = Amount of petrol in tank / amount of petrol used everyday = 10x/1.25x = 10/1.25 = 8 Days
