Question

20 kg mixture of rice contains 30% husk and 70% rice grains. If 5 kgs of rice are added to the mixture, what will be the percentage of husk in the new mixture?

  • 25
  • 24
  • 22
  • 20
Answer- B

Initially, the mixture contains 30% husk = 30/100 ∗20 = 6 kg

And, 70% of rice grains = 70/100 ∗ 20 = 14 kg

After adding 5 kgs of rice, the mixture contains (14+5) = 19 kgs of rice and 6 kgs of husk.

Percentage of husk = 6/25 ∗ 100=24%
