What will be the total weight of 10 poles each of the same weight ? I. One-fourth of the weight of a pole is 5 kilograms. II. The total weight of three poles is 20 kilograms more than the total weight of two poles.

What will be the total weight of 10 poles each of the same weight ? I. One-fourth of the weight of a pole is 5 kilograms. II. The total weight of three poles is 20 kilograms more than the total weight of two poles. Correct Answer If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;

From I, we find that the weight of one pole is (5 x 4) = 20 kg ,and so the weight of 10 poles is 200 kg.

Thus, I alone is sufficient.

From II. we have : (weight of 3 poles — weight of 2 poles) -= 20 kg or weight of one pole - 20 kg.

So. weight of 10 poles 200 kg.

Thus. II alone is also sufficient
