Answer» Let the wieght of the bag of sugar be x… now, the question says that the bag of rice wieghs 20 kg more than the bag of sugar, so the wieght of the bag of rice = (x + 20) kg Now, 50 kg is added to the second bag, so the wieght of the bag of sugar = (x + 50)kg Now, the wieght of the bag of sugar is twice the bag of rice, so, =) 2 (X + 20) = (x + 50) =) 2x + 40 = x + 50 =) 2x - x = 50 - 40 =) x = 10 We know, the bag of rice wieghs (x+20) kg or (10+20)= 30 kg :) |
