Answer 1

The correct option is B

5 kg
Weight of a pumpkin = 4 kg
weight of <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> $\frac{3}{4}$ parts of a pumpkin
= <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> $\frac{3}{4}$ × 4 kg
= <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> $\frac{3\times 4}{4}$ kg
=$\frac{12}{4}$ kg
= 3 kg
Weigth of carrots = 2 kg
Total weight
= weight of pumpkin + weight of carrot
= 3 kg+ 2 kg
= 5 kg
