Question

Fresh fruit contains 68% water and dry fruit contains 20% water How much dry fruit can be obtained from 100 kg of fresh fruits?

• A. 32 kg
• B. 40 kg
• C. 52 kg
• D. 80 kg

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

40 kg

Quantity of pulp in 100kg of fresh fruits=(100-68)% of 100kg=32kg.
Let x be the quantity of dry fruit obtained.
then (100-20)% of x=32
$\Rightarrow \frac{80x}{100}=32$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{32\times 100}{80}$
$\Rightarrow x=40Kg.$
