In 5Kg stones are 2.72%= 0.136Kg.
If half removed left over is 0.068Kg.
Net Weight = 4.932Kg.
Now percentage is = (0.068/4.932)*100=1.3787%
Hence the right option is 8.

2.72% of 5 = 0.136
Half of the stone has been removed, so stone becomes = 0.136/2 = 0.068
Total weight = 5-0.068 = 4.932
% of stone content = (0.068*100)/4.932
= 1.3787%

Bareeth Ahamed   8 years AGO

1kg = 1000 gram
5 kg = 5000 gram
2.72 % stone in 5kg = 136 gram
half of the stone = 68 gram removed
5000 - 68 = 4932 gram rice
(68*100)/4932 = 1.378751

5kg = 5000 g
2.72% stone in 5kg = 136 g
half of the stone content = 68 g
5000-68 = 4932 g
68*4892/100 = 1.378751%

sugar is 5kg and stone is 2.72% of it.
therefore total stone = (2.72/100)*5=0.136kg.
now half stone i.e 0.136/2=0.068kg is taken out.
total weight is 5kg - 0.068kg=4.932kg
and stones in it = 0.068kg
so the % of stones is (0.068/4.932)*100=1.3787%
and answer is 8) 1.3787

Navaneetha Krishnan   8 years AGO

(2.72/100)*5 = 0.136
half of stone removed 0.068 kg
therefore 5-0.068 = 4.932
(0.068/4.932 ) * 100 = 1.3787 %

Suman Sau   8 years AGO

in 5 kg the stone is (2.72*5)/100=0.136
now half stone will be removed,so .136/2=.068
now,total rice and stone is=5-.068=4.932
so,in the rice %of stone is=(.068*100)/4.932=1.3787

2.72℅ of 5kg=0.136
half of stone content removed=0.068
now 5-0.068=4.932kg
stone content is 0.068kg
℅ of stone content in 4.932kg =(0.068÷4.932)×100=1.3787℅
