Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction project needs two machines: one diesel-rated at 500 horsepower and one gasoline-rated at 300 horsepower. The cost of diesel is 70 rupees per liter and gasoline is 65 rupees per liter. Calculate the total hourly fuel costs assuming each operates for an hour at their rated fuel consumption rates.

💡 Hint: Use the consumption and adjust by cost per liter.

Question 2

During a project condition where only 60% load is applied, how would you adjust the fuel consumption factor of a gasoline engine rated at 0.06 gallons per horsepower hour?

💡 Hint: Consider all operational factors applied to load.
