(B) In fresh fruits,the water content is $68 \%$,which means the solid content (pulp) is $100 \% - 68 \% = 32 \%$.In $100 \,kg$ of fresh fruits,the weight of the solid content is $32 \% 	ext{ of } 100 \,kg = 32 \,kg$.In dry fruits,the water content is $20 \%$,which means the solid content (pulp) is $100 \% - 20 \% = 80 \%$.Let the weight of the dry fruit obtained be $x \,kg$.The amount of solid content remains constant during the drying process.Therefore,$80 \% 	ext{ of } x = 32 \,kg$.$0.80 	imes x = 32$.$x = \frac{32}{0.80} = 40 \,kg$.Thus,$40 \,kg$ of dry fruit can be obtained.

Fresh fruits contain $68 \%$ water and dry fruits contain $20 \%$ water. How much dry fruit can be obtained from $100 \,kg$ of fresh fruits?
