Answer : 4. "149600 kgs"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 149600 kgs Explanation: Let the total quantity of gold be p kgs. According to the question, 50% of p + 25% of p + 12.5% of p = 130900 87.5% of p = 130900 p = 130900 x 100/87.5 = 149600 kgs. Therefore, the initial gold quantity that king has = p = 149600 kgs.
