The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Let's take,
Solid part of fresh grapes = Solid part of dry grapes
Assume the weight of fresh grapes be x kgs
x × 0.2 = 250 × 0.9 (as in fresh grapes there is around 20% of water and the rest is solid part)
By Solving the equation we get,
x = 1125 kgs
The correct option is (B)
