A car is filled with 4.5 gallons of fuel for a round trip .
Car is taken 1/4 more than in going than coming up. What is
the fuel consumed in coming up ?

Answer Posted / girija

Let the fuel consumed while coming up be X,
so,
while going the fuel consumed is(X+(X+1/4x)),
(X+(X+1/4x))=4.5
X(1+1+1/4)=4.5
X(9/4)=4.5
X=18/9
X=2.
so, the fuel consumed while coming up is 2gallons.
