Mohan is going to market to purchase rice and flour. Mohan has a carry bag that can sustain a maximum weight of 12 kg 500 grams. If Mohan has to buy 8 kg 400 gram of flour, how much rice can he purchase to take both of them home inside the carry bag?
1. 5 kg 100 gram 
2. 4 kg 100 gram 
3. 4 kg 400 gram 
4. 3 kg 900 gram 

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 4 kg 100 gram 

Given:

Maximum capacity of the carry bag = 12 kg 500 gram 

Mohan has to buy 8 kg 400 gram of flour

Concept used:

1 kg = 1000 gram

Calculation:

The maximum weight that can be kept inside the carry bag without damage = Maximum weight - Weight of flour

⇒ 12 kg 500 gram - 8 kg 400 gram = 4 kg 100 gram

∴ The maximum weight of rice he can purchase is 4 kg 100 gram
