Answer: Either Statement I or Statement II alone is sufficient to determine the total weight of 10 poles. Answer: C.

1. Use Statement I alone: Total weight of 10 poles = 10 x 20 = 200 Kg. Statement I alone is sufficient.
2. Use Statement II alone: Total weight = 10 x 12.5 = 125 Kg. Statement II alone is also sufficient.
