A. 30680 grams
B. 30710 grams
C. 31500 grams
D. 31680 grams
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
| Box | : | Paper bundle | |
| Weight | 3 | : | 22 |
| Let | 3x | : | 22x |
25x = 36kg
$$\eqalign{ & x = \frac{{36}}{{25}} \times 1000 \cr & \,\,\,\,\, = 1440{\text{ grams}} \cr} $$
(∴ 1 kg = 1000 grams)
∴ Weight of paper bundles = 22x
= 22 × 1440 grams
= 31680 grams
