Taxi Service
Mr. Kothari runs a taxi service in
Ahmedabad. Every day, he travels from Ahmedabad to one nearby city and back.
All the cities are less than 100 km away from Ahmedabad. Everyday morning, Mr.
Kothari fills his car’s fuel tank to the brim. On a full tank, the car can
travel maximum 250 km. Unfortunately, Mr. Kothari forgot to fill his tank
today. What is the probability that he will run out of fuel during the day?
