Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
1. One third of each boxes weight is 12 kg
So, total weight of each box = (12 × 3) = 36 kg
So, total weight of 10 cartons of Mangoes = (36 × 10) = 360 kg
2. Total weight of 6 boxes is 72 kg more than the total weight of 4 boxes
Let weight of each box be ‘a’ kg
According to statement:
6a = 4a + 72
=> 2a = 72
=> a = 36 kg
So, total weight of 10 cartons of Mangoes = (36 × 10) = 360 kg
So, both the statements are individually enough to give the answer.
Hence, either of the statements 1 or 2 is sufficient.
