SNAP 2009 Question Paper

Question 5

An alloy of gold and silver weighs 50 gms. It contains 80% gold. How much gold should be added to the alloy so that percentage of gold is increased to 90?

Solution

Gold in 50g of alloy

$$=80\times\frac{50}{100}=40g$$

Let x g gold must be added.

Now, according to the question,

$$40+x=\frac{90}{100}\left(50+x\right)$$

$$x=50g$$

Thus, 50 g of gold must be added to it to get 90%.

Thus, the correct option is A.
