Question

2) In 1000 sq. meter of land a farmer cultivated 765 kg of rice with the wastage of 23.5%. I) Find the weight of the wastage. II) Find the weight and percentage of rice cultivated. 3) If the area has been increased 40 times in size, how much rice will be cultivated (excluding the wastag

Answer 1

Weight of wastage=179.775kg

weight of rice cultivated= 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated=76.5%

Explanation:

Area of land=100 square meters

Cultivated rice=765kg

Wastage=23.5%

1) Weight of the wastage=23.5% of 765kg

=23.5/100 × 765

=17977.5 / 100

=179.775 kg

2) Weight and percentage of rice cultivated.

weight of rice cultivated = 765 kg - 179. 775 kg

= 585.225 kg

percentage of rice cultivated = 100 - 23.5

= 76.5%

3) if area is increased 40 times in size

New area=1000 square meters × 40

=40,000 square meters

Cultivated rice= 765kg × 40

=30,600 kg

Cultivated rice excluding wastage=585.225 kg × 40

=23,409 kg
