Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 200 g

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Initial jaggery: \( 0.30 \times 500 \text{ g} = 150 \text{ g} \) Non-jaggery (constant): \( 500 \text{ g} - 150 \text{ g} = 350 \text{ g} \) Let \( x \) be added jaggery. \( \frac{150 + x}{500 + x} = 0.50 \) \( 150 + x = 250 + 0.5x \) \( 0.5x = 100 \) \( x = 200 \text{ g} \)
