Answer:
Option (B)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of one container = x pounds
Therefore, weight of 5 containers = 5x pounds
Weight of the platform = 30 pounds
Total weight of the platform and containers = (5x + 30) pounds
If the maximum weight that can be lifted by the cable = 780 pounds
Inequality representing this situation will be,
(5x + 30) < 780
5x < 780 - 30
5x < 750
x < 150
Therefore, Option (B) is the answer.
