(1) 4 kg 425 g 

(2) 5 kg 425 g 

(3) 4 kg 525 g 

(4) 6 kg 425 g

Answer 1

Correct option is: (1) 4 kg 425 g

The total weight of Vegetables bought by Akash = 10 kg 

The total weight of onions in Kilograms = 3.500 kg 

The total weight of tomatoes  in Kilograms = 2.075 kg

\(\therefore \) Weight of potatoes = Total weight of vegetables - (weight of onion + weight of tomatoes)

= 10 kg - (3.500 + 2.075) kg

= 10 kg - 5.57 kg

= 4.425 kg
