The answer given says the difference in weight is 180KG, but the answer is given as (a), which is 150KG. When I do this question, using the chart in the handout. I get 150KG too.
Is this an error, or am I missing something?
Can you let me know the Question as I can't tell from what you've posted
Cheers
