Vedclass · Answer

(C) The capacities of the three boxes are $24\, kg$,$36\, kg$,and $84\, kg$.Total weight of the mixture $= 24 + 36 + 84 = 144\, kg$.The ratio of wheat $A$,$B$,and $C$ in the mixture is $24 : 36 : 84$,which simplifies to $2 : 3 : 7$.The fraction of type $A$ wheat in the total mixture is $\frac{2}{2+3+7} = \frac{2}{12} = \frac{1}{6}$.Since the mixture is distributed back into the boxes,the third box (capacity $84\, kg$) will contain the same proportion of type $A$ wheat as the total mixture.Quantity of type $A$ wheat in the third box $= \frac{1}{6} 	imes 84 = 14\, kg$.
