Neco 2024 Agricultural Science Question 50
Practice objective / multiple choice question 50 from the 2024 Neco Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer harvests \(10\)\,tonnes of cassava roots and processes them into gari. The successive mass losses are: peeling \(8\%\), washing \(5\%\), grating \(4\%\), fermenting \(12\%\), pressing \(6\%\), roasting \(10\%\) of the mass entering that stage. After roasting, an additional \(15\%\) of the remaining mass is lost as volatile compounds. Finally, cooling adds \(2\%\) moisture weight relative to the roasted mass (i.e., the cooled gari weighs \(2\%\) more than the roasted mass). Assuming 100\% efficiency otherwise, calculate the final weight of gari obtained (in kilograms, rounded to two decimal places).
