• B. Sunday
• C. Cannot be determined
• D. Saturday

Answer 1

The correct option is A Friday

$\text{We have to find the day on which}$ $\text{the shopkeeper had sold most amount}$ $\text{of wheat and rice altogether}$ $\text{in ounces.}$

$\text{First of all, we will have to convert}$ $\text{pounds to ounces.}$

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 pound =}$ $\text{16 ounces}$



$\text{Now, let's follow the conversion rule}$ $\text{and calculate the total amount of}$ $\text{of sale on Friday.}$

$\text{Weight of the wheat = 4 lbs 25 oz}$
$\text{Weight of the rice = 4 lbs 50 oz}$


$\text{Now let's add both the weights.}$


$\text{Now, let's calculate the total amount}$ $\text{of sale on Saturday.}$

$\text{Weight of the wheat = 5 lbs 35 oz}$
$\text{Weight of the rice = 4 lbs 20 oz}$


$\text{Now let's add both the weights.}$


$\text{Now, let's calculate the total amount}$ $\text{of sale on Sunday.}$

$\text{Weight of the wheat = 6 lbs 15 oz}$
$\text{Weight of the rice = 3 lbs 30 oz}$


$\text{Now let's add both the weights.}$


$\text{We can clearly see that on Friday,}$ $\text{the shopkeeper sold the maximum}$ $\text{amount of wheat and rice altogether.}$
