• B. Saturday
• C. Friday
• D. Sunday

Answer 1

The correct option is B Saturday

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

$\text{First of all, we will have to convert}$ $\text{kilograms to grams.}$

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 kilogram =}$ $\text{1,000 grams}$



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

$\text{Weight of the wheat = 4 kg 275 g}$
$\text{Weight of the rice = 4 kg 58 g}$


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


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

$\text{Weight of the wheat = 5 kg 350 g}$
$\text{Weight of the rice = 4 kg 210 g}$


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


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

$\text{Weight of the wheat = 6 kg 105 g}$
$\text{Weight of the rice = 3 kg 340 g}$


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


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