Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
From the first statement: One-fourth of each packet's weight is 5 kg. Therefore each packet weighs 4 × 5 = 20 kg. So 10 packets weigh 10 × 20 = 200 kg.
From the second statement: Let the weight of each packet be w. The total weight of three packets is 20 kg more than that of two packets, so 3w = 2w + 20, which gives w = 20 kg. Thus 10 packets weigh 10 × 20 = 200 kg.
Conclusion: Each statement alone is sufficient to determine the weight of one packet and hence the total weight of 10 packets. The total weight is 200 kg.
