• B. $15056kg$
• C. $25000kg$
• D. $12000kg$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $15056kg$

No of boxes of biscuits a truck can carry$=582$

Weight of 1 box $=16kg$

Weight of biscuits carried by the truck $=582\times 16=9312kg$

No of boxes of biscuits a van can carry $=359$

Weight of biscuits carried by the van $=359\times 16=5744kg$

$\therefore$ Total weight that can be carried by both the vehicles $=9312+5744=15056kg$

Answer : B
