Q:

A box contains 90 screws each of 100 gms and 100 bolts each of 150 gms. If the entire box weighs 35.5 kg, then the weight of the empty box is ?

A) 10.5 kgs B) 12 kgs
C) 9.6 kgs D) 11.5 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 11.5 kgs

Explanation:

Screws weight = 90x100 = 9000gms
bolts weight = 100 x 150 = 15000gms
weight = screws + bolts => 24000 gms =>24 kg
Given entire box weight = 35.5kg
empty box = entire box weight - weight => 35.5kg - 24kg => 11.5kg
so the empty box is 11.5kg.

RYB (an abbreviation of red–yellow–blue) is a historical set of colors used in subtractive color mixing and is one commonly used set of primary colors. It is primarily used in art and design education, particularly painting.

RYB predates modern scientific color theory, which has determined that cyan, magenta, and yellow are the best set of three colorants to combine, for the widest range of high-chroma colors.

A) 400 B) 600
C) 900 D) 700
