What will be the total weight of 10 poles, each of the same weight ?

Statements:

1. One-fourth of the weight of each pole is 5 kg.

2. The total weight of three poles is 20 kilograms more than the total weight of two poles.

Answer: C

From 1, we conclude that weight of each pole = (4x5) kg = 20 kg.

So, total weight of 10 poles = (20 x 10) kg = 200 kg.

From 2, we conclude that:

Weight of each pole = (weight of 3 poles) - (weight of 2 poles) = 20 kg.

So, total weight of 10 pojes = (20 x 10) kg = 200 kg.
