$16\frac{2}{3}\% $ of $600$gm $ - 33\frac{1}{3}\% $ of $180$gm

  2. $30$ gm
  3. $40$ gm
  4. $60$ gm
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
$16 \dfrac{2}{3}\%$ of $600\ gm-33 \dfrac{1}{3} \%$ of $180\ gm$
$\Rightarrow \left[ \dfrac{50}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{100} (600)- \left( \dfrac{100}{3} \times \dfrac{1}{100} \right) (180) \right] gm$
$\Rightarrow \left[ \dfrac{600}{6}- \dfrac{180}{3} \right]\ gm$
$\Rightarrow (100-60)\ gm$
$\Rightarrow 40\ gm$
$\therefore [16 2/3 \% \ of\ 600\ gm-33 1/3 \% \ of\ 180\ gm]=40\ gm$
