Mohan traveled five cities (A, B, C, D and E) starting from home by a car which has a mileage such that the car can travel 10 km in 1 liter petrol. Distance between city A and B is twice the distance between home to city A. Distance between city B and C is thrice the distance between home to city A. Distance between city C and D is 100. Distance between city D and E is 1.5 times than the distance between B and C. Average distance traveled by Mohan was 41 km between five cities. Find how much petrol was needed by Mohan to travel from city B to D.
