Solution

Let the weight of box A be x kg.

Weight of box B=(x+312)kg=(x+72)kg

And, Weight of box C=[(x+72)+513]kg=(x+72+163)kg

Total weight of three boxes =6012kg=1212kg

x+(x+72)+(x+72+163)=1212

3x=12127272163

3x=121772163

3x=1072163

3x=321326

3x=2896

x=2896×3=28918=16118kg

Weight of box A is 16118kg.
