Which weight value would violate the maximum gross weight rule?

• A. 80,001 lbs
• B. 60,000 lbs
• C. 70,000 lbs
• D. 85,000 lbs

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that there is a fixed maximum gross weight allowed, and anything over that limit is not permissible. If the cap is 80,000 pounds, then any value exceeding that would violate the rule. Among the options, 80,001 pounds is just over the limit, so it clearly violates the rule. The other values—60,000 and 70,000 pounds—are under the limit and would be allowed. (Note: 85,000 pounds would also exceed the limit in real practice, but the smallest overweight example shown here is 80,001 pounds.)
