B.
51.5 kg
C.

Answer
D.

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Weight of first box = 200 kg
Weight of third box
= 125 % of 200 kg
= 250 kg
Weight of second box
= 120% of 250 kg
= 300 kg
Weight of fourth box = 350 kg
Let the weight of fifth box be x kg
Then, 70% of x = 350 kg
.
Average weight of four heaviest boxes

Average weight of four lightest boxes

∴ Required difference
= (350 - 275)
= 75 kg
