I have seen a few say 25% as an answer to this. But looks
like their math isn’t good and is extremeley complex to
have an asnwer of 25% to this question. Consider – Rs.1.00/-
per mango; so 40 mangoes = Rs.40.00/-, implies Rs.4.00/-
extra at the end of the deal. So he’s left with Rs.44.00/-
after selling 40 mangoes implies a profit of Rs.4.00/- over
Rs.40.00 = 44/40 = 110% which means his profit is 10%.
Hope this helps…
Thanks.

Initially, potatoes have 99% water by weight ; which means they have 1% solid non-water content.

1% of 100 kg = 1 kg

Now even when they dehydrate,this 1kg solid mass remains constant.

It is given that finally, 98% is water by weight , which implies that 2% is non-water solid.

This means 2% of total weight = 1 kg

Total weight *2/100 = 1 kg

Therefore, total weight finally = 50 kg.

I am not doing my money investment in conventional manner

1(100-1)+ 2(100-2)+…..99(100-99)
N=100
solution: N(N-1)
100(99)= 9900

1!=1
2!=2×1=2
3!=3x2x1=6
4!=4x3x2x1=24
5!=5x4x3x2x1=120
6!=6x5x4x3x2x1=720
The answer is 120.
