Question

Shipra has three boxes A, B and C. Box A weighs 3 1/4 kg more than box B and box C weighs 2 3/4 kg more than box B. If the total weight of three boxes is 72 kg, find the weight of box c​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the weight of box c be C, of box b be B and a be A. It is given

A=B+13/4

C=B+11/4

A+C=13/4 +11/4 =24/4=6

put this value of A+C in the below equation which is also given

A+B+C=72

6+B=72

B=72-6=66

C=66+11/4=(264+11)/4=275/4 kg
