Correct answer is: 3 kg Explanation: Total mixture of sand and iron = 1 kg Quantity of iron = $\frac{20}{100} \times 1 = 0.2 \text{ kg}$ Let x kg of sand should be added, thus total iron in the mixture $\implies 0.2=\frac{5}{100} \times (x+1)$ $\implies 4=x+1$ $\implies x=4-1=3 \text{ kg}$ Nithin ? answered undefined All Comments
