Fresh grapes contain 80% water, while dry grapes contain 10% water. If the weight of dry grapes is 500 kg, then what is its total weight when it is fresh ?
-
- 2350 kg
- 2085 kg
- 2555 kg
- 2250 kg
- None of the above
Correct Option: D
Let the weight of fresh grapes be W.
Quantity of water in it = (80/100) x W = 4W/5
Quantity of pulp in it = W - (4W/5) = W/5
Quantity of water in 500 gm dry grapes
= (10/100) x 500 = 50 kg
∴ Quantity of pulp in it = (500 -50) = 450 kg
W/5 = 450
∴ W = 2250 kg
