Solution

The correct option is D 450 grams
Given
Number of packets = 8
Total weight of box
= 3 kg 600 grams
= (3000 + 600) grams
(Since 1 kg = 1000 grams)
= 3600 grams
Weight of each packet = $\frac{Total weight of box}{Number of packets}$
= $\frac{3600}{8}$
= $450 grams$
Hence, the weight of each packet of detergent is 450 grams.
