Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

I WAS FASCINATED by your article on weights but suspect a deliberate mistake in that we lose 2000kg along the unladen weight, 5000kg, total weight 16000kg; payload must be 11,000kg not 9000. Final answer must be rear axle 9875kg, front axle 6125kg.

Having just passed the CPC exam I'm n 'et bothered but it might puzzle those about to take it.

By the way, I was very grateful for Commercial Motor's CPC questions, Only scored 75 per cent of your 50, but that was after I had passed.

What about similar article on artic axle weights?

The weights used in Figure 4 are not the same as those used in Figure 3. The gvw in Figure 3 is 16,000kg, whereas in Figure 4 the gvw is 14,000kg. — Technical Editor.
