Ans: B
Let the quantity of wheat = x
5% lost in grinding wheat, that means, we have 95% quantity of wheat with us i.e., = 95% of x => (95/100)*x
and 20 million bags are imported, so add this 20 million to 95% of x => (95/100)*x+20 .....eq(1)
Now, when grinding the same quantity of wheat i.e., x, 2% lost, that means 98% is good wheat = (98/100)*x
and 15 million bags are imported, add 15 to 98% of x => 15+(98/100)*x .....eq(2)
So, in both the cases, the quantity of wheat is same,
=> eq(1) = eq(2)
20+(95/100)*x = 15+(98/100)*x
=> x = 166(2/3)
