A. 32 kg

C. 52 kg
D. 80 kg
Explanation:
Quantity of water in 100kg of fresh fruits =(68/100 × 100)kg
Quantity of pulp in it = (100 – 68)kg = 32 kg
Let the dry fruit be x kg
Water in it = (20/100 × x)kg = x/5 kg
Quantity of pulp in it = (x – x/5)kg = 4x/5 kg
Therefore, 4x/5 = 32 => x = 160/4 = 40 kg
