Best answer 16 votes 16 votes D. 2 Kg Let $x$ be the weight of suitcase. A suitcase weighs one kilogram plus half of its weight. So, $\left(1+ x/2 =x\right) \implies x=2.$ Prajwal Bhat answered Dec 21, 2016 • selected Dec 21, 2016 by Kapil Prajwal Bhat comment Share Follow See all 4 Comments See all 4 4 Comments reply Prateek kumar commented Jan 28, 2018 reply Follow Share looking at the level of TIFR question and this question seems like they had given "lallipop" to make students mood refreshing 3 votes 3 votes suraj20041995 commented Nov 17, 2019 reply Follow Share Can you please clarify why do you equate that equaton to x?( I think "weighs" is not same as "weight") 0 votes 0 votes Vishal_kumar98 commented Oct 28, 2020 reply Follow Share Still lots of students can solve it wrong. 1 votes 1 votes ankit3009 commented Jan 21, 2021 reply Follow Share yes like me ;) 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
