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?
(a) 2350 kg
(b) 2085 kg
(c) 2255 kg
(d) 2250 kg
(e) None of these
Answer is (d)
Let the weight of fresh grapes be x.
Quantity of water in it = \(\displaystyle \frac{{80}}{{100}}\times x=\frac{{4x}}{5}\)
Quantity of pulp in it = \(\displaystyle x-\frac{{4x}}{5}=\frac{x}{5}\)
Quantity of water in 500 kg dry grapes = \(\displaystyle \frac{{10}}{{100}}\times 500=50kg\)
Therefore, quantity of pulp in it = (500 – 50) = 450 kg
\(\displaystyle \frac{x}{5}=450\)
x = 2250 kg
Five-ninths of a number is equal to 25% of the second number. The second number is equal to one-fourth of the third number. The value of the third number is 2960. What is 30% of the first number?

Number of students in 4th and 5th class is in the ratio 6 : 11. 40% in class 4 are girls and 48% in class 5 are girls. What percentage of students in both the classes are boys?
(a) 62.5%
(b) 54.8%
(c) 52.6%
(d) 55.8%
(e) 53.5%
Answer is (c)
Boys in class 4 = \(\displaystyle \frac{{60}}{{100}}\times 6x=\frac{{360x}}{{100}}\)
Boys in class 5 = \(\displaystyle \frac{{52}}{{100}}\times 11x=\frac{{572x}}{{100}}\)
So total boys = \(\displaystyle \frac{{360x}}{{100}}+\frac{{572x}}{{100}}=\frac{{932x}}{{100}}=9.32x\)
% of boys = \(\displaystyle \frac{{9.32x}}{{17x}}\times 100=54.8\%\)
