Total = 100 , water = 30.
70% water evaporated , remaining = 9. Total solution = 100-21 = 79
9 * 100 / 79

(A) 500/69 %

(B) 600/69 %

(C) 700/79 %

(D) 900/79 %

(E) 100/69 %


Solution


    • Let us assume that total weight of the solution is 100 units.
      o So, weight of the water = 30 units
      o And, weight of the other part of solution \(= (100 – 30 ) = 70\) units,
    • Since, 70% water is evaporated. So remaining water = 30% of 30 units \(= \frac{30*30}{100} = 9\) units.
    • Thus, the required percentage = (weight of remaining water/ total weight of remaining solution) \(* 100 = \frac{9}{(70+9)}*100 = \frac{900}{79}\)
Thus, the correct answer is Option D.
