Answer:

20 Newtons

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's Third Law, the sled exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force that pulls it, which is 20 Newtons. Given the information about the magnitude of the pulling force, the weight of the sled is irrelevant.
