Question

Sachin bought 1 5 kg fresh grapes
The ratio of water is to pulp was 4 : 1 When his naughty child
crushed these grapes, then some water got wasted Now the ratio of
water is to pulp is 3 : 2 What is the total amount of the crushed
grapes?

Santosh Kumar · Accepted Answer

Total weight of grapes = 1 5 k g $weight of water = \frac{4}{5} \times 1 5 = 1 2 k g weight of pulp = \frac{1}{5} \times 1 5 = 0 3 k g$ Let amount of water crushed be x k g new weight of water = 1 2 â€“ x new weight of pulp = 0 3 $\frac{new weight of water}{new weight of pulp} = \frac{3}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{1 2 - x}{0 3} = \frac{3}{2}$ â‡’ 2 4 â€“ 2x = 0 9 â‡’ 2x = 2 4 â€“ 0 9 $\Rightarrow x = \frac{1 5}{2}$ â‡’ x = 0 75 k g Amount of water crushed = amount of grapes crushed = 0 75 k g

Sachin bought 1.5 kg fresh grapes. The ratio of water is to pulp was 4 : 1. When his naughty child crushed these grapes, then some water got wasted. Now the ratio of water is to pulp is 3 : 2. What is the total amount of the crushed grapes?
