Answer: 330 kg (choice A)


Work Shown:


weight of 1 tv = 11 kg
weight of 10 tvs = 10*11 = 110 kg

w = total weight
1/3 of the total weight is the tvs
1/3 of w = 110 kg
(1/3)w = 110
w/3 = 110
w = 3*110
w = 330 kg is the total weight

It appears the info about the cd players is a distraction.
We don't use this info at all.
