Initial moisture content (in percentage) of the food on wet basis is

  • A.62.31
  • B.70.45
  • C.162.31
  • D.165.31

Answer: A

The initial moisture content on a wet basis is 62.31%.

Wet-basis moisture is water mass over total wet mass:

\[ M_{wb} = \frac{405}{650} \times 100 = 62.31\% \]

The dry-basis value, water over dry solids, is \(405/245 \times 100 = 165.31\%\), which is one of the distractors; dry-basis moisture can exceed 100 percent, wet-basis cannot. 162.31 and 70.45 do not follow from the data.
