If the truck uses 1 litres of fuel for 19.5 kms at 50 kmph, then it uses 1.3 litres of fuel for 19.5 kms at 70 kmph.
=> At the speed of 70 kmph, the truck covers (19.5/1.3) = 15 kms for 1 litre of fuel.
=> For 10 litre of fuel, the truck will cover 15 * 10 = 150 kms at 70 kmph
Hence, the answer is (C).
