Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2100Kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total quantity of rice be X

quantity of rice sold is

\frac{2x}{3} + 100 + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{x}{3} + 100

As per the given condition

x - ( \frac{2x}{3} + 200 + \frac{x}{6} ) = 150

\frac{6x - 4x - x}{6} = 350

x = 350 \times 6 = 2100
