Which weight distribution is permitted in the baggage compartment?

• A. 50 pounds on coat bar, 750 pounds on floor, 250 pounds on shelf
• B. 75 pounds on coat bar, 700 pounds on floor, 225 pounds on shelf
• C. 60 pounds on coat bar, 800 pounds on floor, 140 pounds on shelf
• D. 0 pounds on coat bar, 800 pounds on floor, 200 pounds on shelf

Answer: (A)

Weight distribution in the baggage compartment must stay within the per-location limits: coat bar up to 50 pounds, floor up to 800 pounds, and shelf up to 250 pounds. The distribution of 50 pounds on the coat bar, 750 pounds on the floor, and 250 pounds on the shelf stays within every limit, using the coat bar at its maximum and keeping the others under their caps. This keeps the load securely restrained and the center of gravity within range. The other options exceed the coat bar limit (loading 60 or 75 pounds on the coat bar) or leave it empty, which violates the loading guidelines. Therefore, the configuration with 50 on the coat bar, 750 on the floor, and 250 on the shelf is the permitted one.
