Fresh Fruit contains 95% of water while dry Fruit contains 10% of water. How much quantity of dry Fruit can be obtained from 63 kg of Fresh Fruits? Correct Answer 3.5 kg

Let the quantity of fresh fruit be 100 kg

Pulp in 100 kg fresh fruit = 100 - 95 = 5 kg

Pulp in 1 kg fresh fruit = 5/100 = 1/20 kg

Pulp in 63 kg fresh fruit = 63/20

Let x quantity of dry fruits is obtained

(100 - 10)% of x = 63/20

x = 6300/1800

∴ x = 3.5
