  1. One fourth of the weight of the pole is $5\;\text{Kg}.$
    Weight of $10$ poles $ = 4 \times 10 \times 5\;\text{Kg} = 200\;\text{Kg}$
  2. The total weight of these poles is $160\;\text{Kg}$ more than the total weight of two poles.
    This means weight of $8$ poles is $160\;\text{Kg}$ and thus weight of $10$ poles is $200\;\text{Kg}.$

So, either of the statements is sufficient to get the weight of $10$ poles.

Correct Option: C
