Question

20 kg of tomatoes contains 20% rotten tomatoes. If 5 kgs of tomatoes are added to it with zero percentage rotten tomatoes, what will be the percentage of rotten tomatoes in the new mixture?

  • 4
  • 8
  • 12
  • 16
Answer- D

Initially, the mixture contains 10% rotten tomatoes = 20/100 ∗ 20 = 4 kg

And, 80% of nice tomatoes = 80/100 ∗ 20 = 16 kg

After adding 5 kgs of tomatoes, the mixture contains (16+5) = 21 kgs of nice tomatoes and 4 kgs of rotten tomatoes.

Percentage of rotten tomatoes = 4/25 ∗ 100=16%
