Answer #1

Atomic weight can be calculated by using following formula

atomic weight= massa × fract​​a + mass​​​b × frac​​​b+ mass​​​c​​ × frac​​​c

Where, a,b and c are used for first,second and third isotopes.

We need to convert percentage into fractions by dividing each percentage term by 100.

Now,

Atomoic weight = 27.977 × 0.9223 + 28.976 × 0.04679 + 29.974 × 0.031

= 25.8031871 + 1.35578704 + 0.929194

= 28.0881681

= 28.09 amu

Therefore, first option is the right option.
