• 1. if x units of each liquid is purchased , then
  
  amt spent on x units of petrol = Rs x
  Amt spent on x units of diesel = x/3 = 510, so x= 1530
  amt spent on x units of kerosene = x/5 = 1530/5 = 306
  
  so B) 306

• Question 1 : Option B.306
  Question 2 : Option C.1955
  
  Let X = Petrol price
  And Y = Diesel price
  And Z = Kerosene price
  
  Question 1:
  1X=3Y=5Z
  Ratio:- X:Y:Z = 15:5:3
  All three having equal volume.
  So, amount spent on kerosene,
  3/5*510 = 3*120 = 306Rs
  So, option B. 306rs
  
  
  Question 2:
  
  Total amount =3* 510 + 510 + 306 = 2346Rs
  Amount spent on Petrol and Kerosene = 15:3
  Amount spent of Petrol = 15/18* 2346= 5/6 * 2346 = 1955Rs
  
  So, option C.1955rs
