Detailed Solution

Given:
A drum full of rice weighs =40 1 6 kg.                           --------------(1)
Empty drum weighs =13 3 4 kg.                                     --------------(2)
On simplifying equations (1) and (2),
A drum full of rice weighs,
= 6×40+1 6 = 241 6                                                                             --------------(3)
Also, empty drum weighs
= 4×13+3 4 = 55 4                                                                               --------------((4)
Now, making the denominators same by multiplying 4 in equation (3) and 6 in equation (4), we get,
Drum full of rice weighs,
= 241×4 6×4 = 964 24                                                                               --------------(5)
Empty drum weighs,
= 55×6 4×6
= 330 24                                                                               --------------(6)
Determine the weight of the rice in the drum.
Weight of the rice in the drum = Weight of drum full of rice - Weight of the empty drum.
Substitute the values from equation (5) and equation (6) in the above,
= 964 24 330 24
= 964330 24   = 634 24 = 317 12   =26 5 12 Hence, the weight of the rice in the drum is 26 5 12 Kg.
Therefore, option (3) is correct.
