Answer:

Correct answer is option A (The pointer will be above the zero mark)

Explanation:

since the mass of 250 grams is placed on the measurement tray of a triple beam balance and the rider is set to 500 gram beam to the 200 gram mark and the other riders are set to 0 grams at that time the pointer will be above the zero mark.

Hence when we place a mass of 250 grams on the measurement tray of a triple beam balance and then set the rider on the 500 gram beam to the 200 gram mark (the other riders are set to 0 grams) that time the pointer will be above the zero mark.

hence correct answer is option A
