Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ \underset{Fe\frac{56}{120}\times 100=46.67}{\mathop{\underset{56+32\times 2=120}{\mathop{FeS _2}},}},\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{\frac{112}{160}\times 100,=,70}{\mathop{\underset{56\times 2+3\times 16,=160}{\mathop{Fe _2O _3}},}}, $ Percent increase = 70 – 46.67 = 23% (approx.)
