Solution

The correct options are B $10.5~kg$
$Total weight of fruits = 20 k g$
$Weight of apples = 5 k g 500 g$
$Weight of oranges = 4 k g$
$Total weight of apples and oranges are = 5 k g 500 g + 4 k g$ $= 9 k g 500 g$
$To obtain the weight of bananas, we have to subtract$
$the total weight of apples and oranges from the total weight of fruits.$
$Thus we get,$
$Weight of bananas = 20 k g - 9 k g 500 g$
$= 10 k g 500 g$
$= 10 k g 500 g = 10.5 k g$ $[∵ 500 g = 0.5 k g]$
