When 5% of the total wheat is lost in grinding, a country can export 9 million tons of wheat, but when6% of the total wheat is lost in grinding it needs to import 2 million tonnes of wheat. What is the totalproduction of wheat in the country? (in million tonnes)(a) 1000 (b) 900 (c) 1100 (d)1150

• total wheat=x million tons
  wheat left after 5% lost=95x/100
  now after giving out 9 million tons = (95x/100)-9 = required for the country
  after 6% lost = 94x/100
  now it need for country 2million more
  required for country is =(94x/100)+2
  
  (95x/100)-9=(94x/100)+2
  
  x=1100

• (6-5)%=1%=9+2=11million tonnes
  1%of x=11
  x=1100million

• let x be the tolal production of wheat in the country
  (95/100)x-9 = (94/100)x+2
  =>x/100 = 11
  => x = 1100. ans

• (5/100)y=x+9,
  (6/100)y=x-2,
  y=1100
• 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(4)
• option b:900
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(4)
• 5%*X+9 = 6%X-2
  find x
  5x+900-6x+200=0
  x=1100
