Question

While preparing syrup, Anshul mixed 560 g of sugar to 3 L of water. Find the total weight of syrup. (Assume 1L of water weighs 1 kg)

• A. 3 kg
• B. 3560 g
• C. 356 kg
• D. 35 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3560 g

Assume that 1 L of water = 1 kg
Hence, the weight of 3 L of water = 3 kg
We know that, 1 kg = 1000 g
$\therefore$ 3 kg of water = 3000 g of water
Amount of sugar added = 560 g [Given]
Total weight = 3000 g + 560 g = 3560 g
$\because$ 1 g = $\frac{1}{1000}$ kg
$\therefore$ 3560 g = $\frac{3560}{1000}$ kg = 3.56 kg

Hence, total weight of syrup is 3.56 kg.
