Question 25

160 cm 120 cm 140 cm ? cm 10 kg 6 kg 8 kg 8 kg
Which number should replace the question mark?

Explanation

The scale is balanced. This is the case if the distances * weights are the same on both sides of the scale: (A + B) * weigth 1 + B * weight 2 = C * weigth 3 + (C + D) * weight 4.

(160 + 120) * 10 + 120 * 6 = 140 * 8 + (140 + ?) * 8.
==> 3520 = 1120 + (140 + ?) * 8.
==> 3520 - 1120 = (140 + ?) * 8.
==> 2400 = (140 + ?) * 8.
==> 2400 / 8 = (140 + ?).
==> (140 + ?) = 300.
==> ? = 300 - 140.
==> ? = 160
160 cm A B C D 120 cm 140 cm 160 cm 10 kg 6 kg 8 kg 8 kg Weight 1 Weight 2 Weight 3 Weight 4
