Answer

$600$ strokes.

Work Step by Step

Let the required number of strokes is $x$. Quantity of the fuel is proportional to the number of strokes. We can write. $\Rightarrow \frac{35}{420}=\frac{50}{x}$ Cross multiply. $\Rightarrow 35\times x=50\times 420$ Divide both sides by $35$. $\Rightarrow x=\frac{50\times 420}{35}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=600$ strokes.
