1.     Total time of trip from Mumbai to Pune =$\frac{Distance}{speed}$=$\frac{200}{60}$ Hour

           At speed of 60 km/hr petrol consumption rate=4 Litre / hour

          Total amount of petrol consumed for the journey=$\frac{200}{60}$ * 4 =13.33

         

Hence,Option (2) 13.33 Litres .

 

2.  (1) When we increase the speed from 60 km/hr to 80 km/hr then petrol consumption will increase by 6.42 Litres.

          $\frac{200}{80}$ * 7.9 - $\frac{200}{60}$ * 4 = 6.42

     (2) When we decreased the speed from 60 km/hr to 40 km/hr then petrol consumption will decrease by 0.83 Litres.

               $\frac{200}{60}$ * 4  -  $\frac{200}{40}$ * 7.9 = 0.83

     (3) we can't reduce the petrol consumption by Maintaining the speed at 60 km/hour.

 

Hence,Option (2) Decrease the speed .
