Fresh fruit contains 68 % water and dry fruit contains 20 % water. How...
Quantity of water in 100kg of fresh fruits =(68/100 × 100)kg
Quantity of pulp in it = (100 - 68)kg = 32 kg
Let the dry fruit be x kg
Water in it = (20/100 Ã - x)kg = x/5 kg
Quantity of pulp in it = (x “ x/5)kg = 4x/5 kg
Therefore, 4x/5 = 32 ⇒ x = 160/4 = 40 kg

To solve this problem, we can use the concept of percentages and proportions. Let's break down the problem into steps:
Step 1: Calculate the weight of water in 100 kg of fresh fruit
Fresh fruit contains 68% water, so the weight of water in 100 kg of fresh fruit can be calculated as:
Water weight = (68/100) * 100 kg = 68 kg
Step 2: Calculate the weight of dry fruit in 100 kg of fresh fruit
Dry fruit contains only 20% water, so the weight of dry fruit can be calculated as:
Dry fruit weight = 100 kg - 68 kg (water weight) = 32 kg
Therefore, 100 kg of fresh fruit can be converted into 32 kg of dry fruit.
So, the correct answer is option B) 40 kg.
Explanation:
In this problem, we are given the percentages of water in fresh fruit and dry fruit. We are asked to find the weight of dry fruit that can be obtained from 100 kg of fresh fruit.
To solve this problem, we first calculate the weight of water in 100 kg of fresh fruit by multiplying the percentage of water (68%) by the total weight of fresh fruit (100 kg). This gives us the weight of water as 68 kg.
Next, we subtract the weight of water from the total weight of fresh fruit to find the weight of dry fruit. This is done by subtracting 68 kg from 100 kg, which gives us 32 kg.
Therefore, from 100 kg of fresh fruit, we can obtain 32 kg of dry fruit.
Hence, the correct answer is option B) 40 kg.
