Neco 2017 Agricultural Science Question 10
Practice objective / multiple choice question 10 from the 2017 Neco Agricultural Science examination.
A batch of \(500\) kg fresh cassava roots contains \(60\%\) moisture (wet basis). The roots are to be dried to \(15\%\) moisture for storage. Drying removes only water, so the dry‑matter mass remains unchanged. After drying, the product is packed in bags each holding \(25\) kg (wet basis at \(15\%\) moisture). During storage each bag loses \(2\%\) of its weight due to respiration, and \(5\%\) of the bags develop mould and are discarded. Calculate the total mass of marketable dry matter (in kilograms, to one decimal place) remaining after storage.
