Question 80

Three boxes of capacity 24 kg, 36 kg and 84 kg are completely filled with three varieties of wheat A, B and C respectively. All the three boxes were emptied and the three types of wheat were thoroughly mixed and the mixture was put back in the three boxes. How many kg of type A wheat would be there in the third box (in kg)?

Solution

Capacity of box containing wheat A = 24 kg , B = 36 kg and C = 84 kg

Ratio of weights of boxes containing wheats A, B and C = 24 : 36 : 84 = 2 : 3 : 7

=> Quantity of type A wheat in third box = $$\frac{2}{(2+3+7)}\times84$$

= $$\frac{84}{6}=14$$ kg

=> Ans - (C)
