loss=crushed grapes= 1.25 0.75 kg is grapes left

Question:

A man bought 2 kg fresh grapes. The ratio of water to pulp is 3 : 1. His child crushed some grapes, then some water get wasted. Now the ratio of water is to pulp is 1 : 2. What is the total weight of crushed grapes?

Options:
A)

0.5 kg

B)

1 kg

C)

0.75 kg

D)

1.25 kg

Solution:

Ans: (c)     

water         pulp

3x       :        x

y                 2y

but x = 2y since pulp remain same.

water         pulp

6y        :      2y

y          :     2y

Loss in water = 6y – y = 5y 

but 8y (= 6y + 2y) = 2 kg

Loss = 5y = 5/4 = 1.25 kg

crushed grapes =2 kg -1.25 kg =0.75 kg
