The weights of 4 boxes are 70, 100, 20 and 40 kilograms. Which of the following cannot be the total weight, in kilograms, of any combination of these boxes?
230
190
160
200
D.
200
Total weight of 4 boxes = (70 + 100 + 20 + 40)kg = 230 kg
Now, check the combinations:
Total weight - weight of last box = (230 - 40) = 190 kg
Total weight - weight of first box = (230 - 70) = 160 kg
∴ 200 cannot be the total weight as per the combinations.
