Load and trailer

In heavy rain on the A12, you measure the nose weight of two centre-axle trailers parked next to you at the petrol station. Trailer 1: TMM 600 kg, nose weight 55 kg. Trailer 2: TMM 900 kg, nose weight 8 kg. What do you conclude?

Only trailer 2 fails; trailer 1 is fine because 55 kg is still little weight
Neither complies: no. 1 is above the 50 kg max, no. 2 is below the 1% of 900 kg min (9 kg)
Only trailer 1 fails; trailer 2 is fine because 8 kg stays under 75 kg

Explanation

False — trap: figure without its condition. Trailer 1 has TMM 600 kg (≤750 kg) → hard max. 50 kg; 55 kg exceeds that (Book p.230).
