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.
