Question 80

If 7% of the total quantity of wheat is lost in grinding when a country has to import 12 million tonne but when only $$5 \frac{1}{5}$$ % is lost it can import 3 million tonne, then what is the quantity of wheat grown in the country?

Solution

Difference in % of whet lost = 7 - 26/5 = 9/5%

Difference in import = 12 - 3 = 9 million

As 9/5% of total qty of wheat = 9 million

So, 9x/500=9

Therefore, x = 500 million.
