A jar was full with honey. A person used to draw out 20% of the honey from the jar and replaced it with sugar solution. He has repeated the same process 4 times and thus there was only 512 gm of honey left in the jar, the rest part of the jar was filled with the sugar solution. The initial amount of honey in the jar was filled with the sugar solution. The initial amount of honey in the jar was:

A) 1.25 kg

B) 1 kg

C) 1.5 kg

D) None of these

Answer: A) 1.25 kg

Explanation:

Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was K, then

512=K(1−15)4 [∵ 20% =20100=15]

or

512=K(45)4

Therefore, K = 1250

Hence initially the honey in the jar= 1.25 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

• non of these because when we put out honey 20 percent for four times it means we have took 80 percent honey from the jar so the remaining 512gm is the last 20 percent in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

it means when we multiply 512 or 20 god the jar to 5 times then the answer should be greater than 2kg500gm anthere is no option of that
