Q:

A box contains 90 screws each of 100 gms and 100 bolts each of 150 gms. If the entire box weighs 35.5 kg, then the weight of the empty box is ?

A) 10.5 kgs B) 12 kgs
C) 9.6 kgs D) 11.5 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 11.5 kgs

Explanation:

Screws weight = 90x100 = 9000gms
bolts weight = 100 x 150 = 15000gms
weight = screws + bolts => 24000 gms =>24 kg
Given entire box weight = 35.5kg
empty box = entire box weight - weight => 35.5kg - 24kg => 11.5kg
so the empty box is 11.5kg.
