Correct Answer: 200


Solution : Given:
The weights of 4 boxes are 90, 40, 80, and 50 kilograms.

The total weight of all possible combinations of boxes is as follows –
90 + 40 = 130; 90 + 80 = 170; 90 + 50 = 140; 40 + 80 = 120;
40 + 50 = 90; 80 + 50 = 130; 90 + 40 + 80 = 210;
90 + 40 + 50 = 180; 90 + 80 + 50 = 220; 40 + 80 + 50 = 170;
40 + 80 + 50 + 90 = 260

Therefore, there is no total weight of 200 kilograms in any combination. Hence, the first option is correct.
