More than twice as many = more than double of 10 pound boxes
—> Let the number of 10 pound boxes = n
—> Weight If 10 pound boxes = 10n
Number of 20 pound boxes is > 2n
Weight of 20 pound boxes is > 20*2n = (> 40n)
So, highest percentage of 10 pound boxes = 10n/(>50n)*100
= < 20%
Only Option feasible = 15%
IMO Option A
