Radha bought 9 bags of rice each weighing 9 kg 995 g. Total weight of rice in the bags is :

  • A.89.595 kg
  • B.89.795 kg
  • C.89.955 kg
  • D.89.985 kg

Answer: C

The total weight is 89.955 kg.

Convert each bag to kilograms: 9 kg 995 g = 9.995 kg. Then multiply by 9:

\[ \begin{aligned} 9 \times 9.995 &= 9 \times (10 - 0.005) \\ &= 90 - 0.045 = 89.955\ \text{kg} \end{aligned} \]

A quick check: each bag is just 5 g short of 10 kg, so nine bags are 45 g short of 90 kg. 89.595 kg and 89.795 kg come from misplacing digits, and 89.985 kg would mean only 15 g short in total.
