Question:

Fresh fruits contain 76% and dry fruits contain 20% water. How much dry fruit can be obtained from 100 kg of fresh fruits?

Options:

40 kg

30 kg

54 kg

48 kg

Correct Answer:

30 kg

Explanation:

Fresh fruit = x

Dry fruit = y

\(\frac{x × 24}{100}\) = \(\frac{y × 80}{100}\)

\(\frac{x}{y}\) = \(\frac{10}{3}\)

y = \(\frac{100}{10}\) × 3                      {x = 100kg}

= 30 kg
