(D) is right because M.B of solid 1000*40/100 = x * 80/100,
x = 500.
Then moisture in kg 1000 - 500 = 500kg.

Anyone, Explain the right answer here.

@All.

D is the right option.

It is a kind of dryer. Apply overall material balance and then component balance (solid).

The correct Answer is D.

Initially water is 60% means 600kg.&400 kg is solid.
&finally 20%.

Therefore;
X/(x+400)=0.2 solve it you will get;
X=100, Now water remaining is 100 and evaporated water is =600-100=500kg.

D is absolutely right option.

It should be D. 1000kg has a mass of water included in it and it is stated that initially, it has 60% water content thus 600kg of water.

Outlet condition 1000 * .2=200,
Inlet condition 1000 * .6=600.
So moisture removed =Outlet-inlet.=600-200=400kg moisture removed.
