Solution

The correct option is C 3,400 kg
Weight of each bag = 38 kg and 400 g

Let's convert the weight into a single unit.

We know, 1,000 g = 1 kg
1 g = 11000 kg
400 g = 4001000 kg = 0.4 kg

Weight of each bag
= 38 kg + 0.4 kg
= 38.4 kg

Weight of 50 bags
= 50×38.4 kg
= 5×10×38410 kg
= 5×384 kg
​​​​​= 1,920 kg

Weight of the spaceship = 1,480 kg

Total weight of 50 bags and spaceship
=Weight of 50 bags+Weight of the spaceship
=1,920kg+1,480kg


Combined weight is 3,400 kg.
