Question

a litre of water is evaporated from the 6 kitre of sugar containing solution 4% of sugar.find the percentage of sugar in remaining solution.

Answer 1

Answer:

4.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total volume of solution = 6 litres = 6000ml

Percentage of sugar in the solution = 4%

Therefore, weight of sugar (in gm) =

$(4 \div 100) \times 6000 = 240$

Thus, the weight of sugar in the solution = 240gm

1 litre of solution is removed

But the weight of sugar remains constant

Thus, percentage of sugar in 5 litre of same solution will be

$(240 \div 5000) \times 100 = 4.8$

Thus, the new solution will have 4.8% of sugar.

Hope this helps!!
