Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:You can't start at station 0 or 1, as there is not enough gas to travel to the next station.

Let's start at station 2 and fill up with 4 unit of gas. Your tank = 0 + 4 = 4

Travel to station 0. Your tank = 4 - 3 + 2 = 3

Travel to station 1. Your tank = 3 - 3 + 3 = 3

You cannot travel back to station 2, as it requires 4 unit of gas but you only have 3.

Therefore, you can't travel around the circuit once no matter where you start.
