Question

From the given figure, find the weight of the mangoes.

• A. 2 kg
• B. 2.4 kg
• C. 2.8 kg
• D. 3 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is B

2.4 kg

$\text{Weight of mangoes + 100 g + 500 g}=\text{1 kg + 2 kg}$
$\Rightarrow \text{Weight of mangoes + 600 g}=\text{3 kg}$
$\Rightarrow \text{Weight of mangoes}=\text{3 kg - 600 g}$

To move ahead, we need to convert the units. Since we need the final answer in kilograms, let us convert 600 g to kilograms.
$1\text{kg}=1000\text{g}$
$\Rightarrow \text{600 g}=\frac{600}{1000}\text{kg}$
$=0.6\text{kg}$
$\therefore \text{Weight of mangoes}=\text{3 kg - 0.6 kg}$
$=\text{2.4 kg}$
