Q:

In some quantity of ghee, 60% is pure ghee and 40% is vanaspati. If 10 kg of pure ghee is added, then the strength of vanaspati ghee becomes 20%. The original quantity was : 

A) 10 kg B) 15 kg
C) 20 kg D) 25 kg
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 kg

Explanation:

Let the original quantity be x kg. Vanaspati ghee in x kg  =  (40x / 100 )kg = (2x / 5) kg. 

Now, (2x/5)/(x + 10) = 20/100

=> 2x / (5x + 50) = 1/5 

=> 5x = 50 

=> x = 10.
