Correct Answer: 20 kg


Solution : Given:
K = M = 60 kg, L = 2N, O = 3L, K = O ÷ 2

As per the given information the weight of K and M is the same and M is 60 kg, so the weight of K will also be 60 kg.
Now, by K = O ÷ 2; 60 = O ÷ 2; O = 120 kg, by O = 3L; L = 120 ÷ 3 = 40; and by L = 2N; N = 40 ÷ 2 = 20 kg

So, the weight of N is 20 kg. Hence, the second option is correct.
