Solution

The correct option is C

4247 Kg


Volume of balloon = 43πr3=43×227×103=4190.47 m3
Mass of the air displaced = 4190.47×1.2 = 5028.56 Kg
No of moles of helium in the balloon=(PV/RT)
=1×4190.47×1030.082×300
=170344
Mass of helium = 4×170.344×103 = 681.376 Kg
Mass of filled balloon = 681.376+100 =781.376 Kg
Pay load = Mass of air displaced - Mass of filled balloon
=5028.56-781.376
=4247.184 Kg
