Question

Total weight of 33 glasses of juice is 739.2 L. If some colored syrup is added in each glass, the weight of each glass becomes 1.2 times the original weight.

What is the weight of each glass after adding colored syrup?

• A. 41.3 L
• B. 39.8 L
• C. 26.88 L
• D. 13.6 L

Answer 1

The correct option is C 26.88 L

Weight of 33 glasses of juice is 739.2 L.

∴ Weight of 1 glass of juice
= (739.2 $÷$ 33) L

Dividing 739.2 $÷$ 33 by standard method, we get:


So, weight of 1 glass of juice = 22.4 L

Now, weight of each glass is increased by 1.2 times after adding colored syrup.

∴ New weight of each glass
= (22.4 $\times$ 1.2) L

Multiplying 22.4 $\times$ 1.2 using standard algorithm, we get:


So, the weight of glass of juice after adding syrup is 26.88 L.
