Question

So, the weight of each packet of sugar after adding the stones is .

• A. 43.78 kg
• B. 38.37 kg
• C. 43.25 kg
• D. 32.46 kg

Answer 1

Answer: (C), (D)

32.46 kg

Weight of 50 packets
= 1352.5 kg of sugar

∴ Weight of 1 packet of sugar
= 1352.5 kg $÷$ 50

Calculating the value of 1352.5 $÷$ 50 by standard method, we observe:


So, weight of 1 packet
= 27.05 kg of sugar

After adding white stones ot each packet, the weight of each packet becomes 1.2 times the original weight.

∴ Weight of each packet after addition of stones = 27.05 $\times$ 1.2 kg

Calculating 27.05 $\times$ 1.2 by standard method, we get:


So, the weight of each packet of sugar after adding stones in it, is 32.46 kg.
