(A) 32 kg. (B) 40 kg
(C) 52 kg. (D) 80 kg​

Answer 1

Answer:   B) 40 

Explanation:

The fruit content in both the fresh fruit and dry fruit is the same.
 
Given, fresh fruit has 68% water.so remaining 32% is fruit content. weight of fresh fruits is 100kg
 
Dry fruit has 20% water.so remaining 80% is fruit content.let weight if dry fruit be y kg.
 
Fruit % in freshfruit = Fruit% in dryfruit 
 
Therefore, (32/100) x 100 = (80/100 ) x y 
 
we get, y = 40 kg.
