Answer:

Option D. 100N.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attached photo, W is the weight of the rod. We can thus, obtain the value of W as follow:

Clock wise moment = (Wx1) + (100x3)

Anti clockwise moment = 400 x 1

Clockwise moment = Anti clockwise moment

(W x 1) + (100x3) = 400 x 1

W + 300 = 400

Collect like terms

W = 400 – 300

W = 100N.

Therefore, the weight of the rod is 100N.
