Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : 157.5 kg

Given:

Number of parcels = 15

Weight of each parcel = \(10 \dfrac{1}{2}\) kg

Formula Used:

Total weight = Number of parcels × Weight of 1 parcel

Calculations:

Number of parcels = 15

Weight of each parcel = 21/2 kg

Now, Total weight = Number of parcels × Weight of 1 parcel 

⇒ Total weight = 15 × 21/2 kg

⇒ Total weight = 157.5 kg

∴ The total weight of the parcels is 157.5 kg.
