Neco Model Questions Vol1 2021 Agricultural Science Question 27
Practice objective / multiple choice question 27 from the 2021 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer harvests 10 000 kg of cassava roots. He can either (A) sun‑dry the roots for 5 days, which reduces the weight by 12 % due to moisture loss and then incurs a further 5 % spoilage loss, after which the dried product loses 2 % of its weight each month during storage for 3 months; or (B) process the roots directly into flour, losing 8 % of the weight during processing, and then store the flour with a 1 % monthly loss for 3 months. Assuming no other losses, which method yields a greater final weight and what is that weight (to the nearest kilogram)?
