If the iron ore extracted from the Jharsuguda region has a grade of 60 % iron and 2.5 tonnes of ore are processed, how many kilograms of iron are obtained?

Step-by-step solution

1. Total mass of ore = 2.5 tonnes = (2.5 \times 1000 = 2500) kg.
2. Grade of iron = 60 % means iron mass = 60 % of total mass.
3. Iron mass = (0.60 \times 2500 = 1500) kg.
4. Thus 1500 kg of iron are obtained.
