Question

Burger ka Baap prepares their own tomato ketchup by boiling tomato juice. If tomato juice contains 85% water whereas tomato ketchup only has 20% water in it, how many litres of ketchup can be prepared from 20 litres of tomato juice?

• A. 3.75 L
• B. 3.6 L
• C. 5.4 L
• D. 4.8 L
• E. 3.2 L

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3.75 L

20 litres juice contain 85% water and 15% Tomato $=\frac{15}{100}\times 20=3L$ Tomato
Tomato ketchup contains 80% of water and 20% tomato. This 80% tomato = 3L
Thus, total ketchup will be $=\frac{3}{0.8}=3.75L$
