Brain Teasers Questions for Interview

200lb of cucumbers was delivered to the grocery store and left in a storage room. The cucumbers contained 99% of water. After some time part of water evaporated and the contents of water in cucumbers became 98%. What is the weight of cucumbers now?

100 lbs

Initially the solid part is 1% of 200 lb, which is 2 lbs and all these 2 lbs stay there and becomes 2% of the total weight. So 2/2% = 100.
