    C 560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the weight of Q be y. So, weight of P = 1.40y According to question, (1.40y - y) + 120 = 240 0.40y = 240 - 120 0.40y = 120 y = 120 / 0.40 y = 300 Therefore, weight of P = 1.40 x 300 = 420
