Question
When 15% is lost in grinding wheat, a country can export 30 lakh tons of wheat. On the other hand, if 10% is lost in grinding, it can export 40 lakh tons of wheat. The production of wheat in the country is:a.200 lakh tonsb.20 lakh tonsc.80 lakh tonsd.800 lakh tons
Solution
Let's solve this step by step:
-
If 15% is lost in grinding, the remaining 85% is 30 lakh tons. So, 1% is equal to 30/85 = 0.352941176 lakh tons.
-
If 10% is lost in grinding, the remaining 90% is 40 lakh tons. So, 1% is equal to 40/90 = 0.444444444 lakh tons.
-
The difference in the two scenarios is due to the 5% difference in grinding loss. So, 5% is equal to 40 - 30 = 10 lakh tons.
-
Therefore, 1% is equal to 10/5 = 2 lakh tons.
-
Hence, the total production (100%) is equal to 2 * 100 = 200 lakh tons.
So, the answer is a. 200 lakh tons.
