The weights of 4 boxes are 20, 30, 50 and 70 kilograms. Which of the following cannot be the total weight, in kilograms, of any combination of these boxes and in a combination a box can be used only once?

  • A.170
  • B.160
  • C.150
  • D.120

Answer: B

Correct answer: 160

The possible totals are the four weights singly (20, 30, 50, 70), in pairs (50, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120), in threes (100, 120, 140, 150) and all together (170). 160 appears nowhere among them, so it cannot be made.
