  • A 420km
  • B 405km
  • C 210km
  • D 200km
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
1 litre = N63.00
xlitres = N900.00
x x N63 = N900 x 1 litre
x = \(\frac{900}{63} \times litre\)
x = \(\frac{100}{7}\) litres
Also, 1 litre = 14km
\(\frac{100}{7}\) = y
y x 1 litre = \(\frac{100litre}{7}\) x 14km
y = 20km
