let keep 800 cc constant and calculate amount of diesel for 800 kms.
800*60/600=80 liters.
Now, calculate diesel required for new distance i.e 800 km,
80*1200/800=120 liters.

Step-1(Generalization)
liter(unknown as reference) km(relation to reference direct) cc(relation to reference direct)
known 60 600 800
unknown X 800 200
step-2(determine relation between reference and other quantity)

km 600:1200} :: 60:X
cc 800:600 }
600*800*X=1200*600*60
X=120 liter

600 60 800
800 x 1200

60 * x * 800 = 800 * 60 *1200
48000x = 800* 72000
x = 120 liters
