Answer

Weight of 12 bags = 174 kg.

Weight of 1 bag = (17412) kg[Less bags, Less weight]\Big(\dfrac{174}{12}\Big) \text{ kg} \quad \text{[Less bags, Less weight]}

Weight of 20 bags = (17412×20) kg[More bags, More weight]\Big(\dfrac{174}{12} \times 20\Big) \text{ kg} \quad \text{[More bags, More weight]}

= (1743×5)\Big(\dfrac{174}{3} \times 5\Big) kg

= 58 x 5 kg \quad (Dividing 174 and 3 by 3)

= 290 kg.

Hence, the weight of 20 bags is 290 kg.
