As we learnt,

 

Dimensional Analysis -

While calculating, the units should be the same all across the equation

- wherein

The units for each physical quantity should be the same throughout th equation. eg. If temperature is involved, the units should be kelvin on both sides

 

 

 

Lets express all units into grams first 

\\*1A = 3B = 3\times\frac{1}{21} g = \frac{1}{7}g \\*B = \frac{1}{21}g

Weight of the box 

\\*= 77A + 420B \\*=77\times\frac{1}{7}g + 420\times\frac{1}{21} g \\*= 11g + 20g \\* = 31g

\therefore Solution is D
