As the spring balances are light, so tension in both the springs will be same and equal to weight of block suspended

Q. A block of mass $10 k g$ is suspended through two light spring balances as shown in figure

Both the scales will read $10 k g$

Both the scales will read $5 k g$

The upper scale will read $10 k g$ and the lower zero

The readings may be anything but their sum will be $10 k g$
