Question 5

160 cm 120 cm 140 cm 160 cm 10 kg ? 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 * ? = 140 * 8 + (140 + 160) * 8.
==> 2800 + 120 * ? = 3520.
==> 120 * ? = 3520 - 2800.
==> ? = (720 / 120.
==> ? = 6.
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
