Solution
The correct option is D 500 g Weight of Dark chocolate = 200 g
Three-fourth of the chocolate weighs = 3 times one quarter of chocolate weight = 3 x (200 ÷ 4 ) = 150 g
Weight of milk chocolate = 300 g
Half of the chocolate weighs = (300 ÷ 2) g = 150 g
Weight of sugar syrup = 200 g
Total weight of the mixture = 150+150+200 = 500 g
