Answer 1

150 N

Step-by-step explanation

The rope is not moving, so the net force on it is 0. The force that each person exerts on the rope is equal and opposite to the tension on the rope, so the sum of the forces acting on it is zero.

Hence, the force that each of the two people is exerting on the rope while pulling is 150 Newtons.
