Question

From mining of Magnetite (an ore of iron) 30% of the ore gets wasted. Of the remaining ore, only 40% is pure iron. If from a mine, the yearly output of iron is 56,000 kg, then what is the quantity of Magnetite (in kg) yearly mined from the mine?

मैग्नेटाइट (लौह-अयस्क) के खनन से 30% लौह-अयस्क बर्बाद हो जाता है। शेष अयस्क में केवल 40% शुद्ध लोहा है। यदि एक खदान से लोहे का वार्षिक आउटपुट 56,000 किग्रा. है, तो खदान से उत्खनित मैग्नेटाइट की वार्षिक मात्रा (कि.ग्रा. में) क्या है?

Solution

The correct option is C 2,00,000 kg
Let the total quantity of ore be ‘x’ kg.
Ore wasted = 30% of x = (30x/100)
Remaining ore used = 70% of x = (70x/100)
Out of the remaining ore used, only 40% is pure iron,
i.e. (40/100) × (70x/100) = 56000 kg
or x = 2,00,000 kg

माना कि अयस्क की मात्रा 'x' कि.ग्रा. है।
बर्बाद अयस्क = x का 30% = (30x/100)
उपयोग में लाया गया शेष अयस्क = x का 70% = (70x/100)
उपयोग किये गए शेष अयस्क में से केवल 40% शुद्ध लोहा है।
यानी, (40/100) × (70x/100) = 56000 कि.ग्रा.
या x = 2,00,000 कि.ग्रा.
