Fuel Payment Distance
1. **Problem (a):** Sundip buys 30 litres of fuel at £1.50 per litre and pays the exact amount using three bank notes of £5, £10, £20, or £50.
2. Calculate the total cost of fuel:
$$30 \times 1.50 = 45$$
3. Sundip pays £45 exactly with three bank notes. Possible bank notes are £5, £10, £20, and £50.
4. Find combinations of three bank notes that sum to £45:
- £20 + £20 + £5 = £45
- £10 + £10 + £25 (not valid since £25 note doesn't exist)
- £10 + £20 + £15 (not valid)
Only valid combination:
**£20, £20, and £5**

5. **Problem (b):** Sundip's car uses 1 litre every 16 km.
6. Initially, car has 50 litres. It uses $\frac{7}{10}$ of this fuel:
$$50 \times \frac{7}{10} = 35$$ litres used.
7. Distance travelled in kilometres:
$$35 \times 16 = 560$$ km
8. Convert kilometres to miles using $5$ miles = $8$ kilometres:
$$\text{Miles} = \frac{560 \times 5}{8} = 350$$ miles
**Final answers:**
(a) The three bank notes are £20, £20, and £5.
(b) Sundip travels **350 miles** on this journey.
