fuel into a tank. He knew though that the fuel tank lost
fuel at the rate of half a liter per hhour. As ram arrived
home the car stopped because it had run out of a fuel and h

Ram is travelling at 30 miles per hour. If time taken to
reach destination is t then total distance d=30*t.
Per hour he loses half liter so in t time he loses t/2
litre.
Thus useful fuel = 10-t/2.
He can do 20 miles per liter so distance covered
d = 20*(10-t/2).
thus
20*(10-t/2)=30*t
t=5
d=150 km.
