• Zero, bcz if you know it is 31 kg then what is the need of weighing it?

• One because we can weigh it by 1kg at a time.

• 5 times,
  first 1kg weight=1kg rice
  then put the 1kg rice with the weight,and that makes a 2 kg weight. measure the next 2kg of rice using this weight and put the measured 2 kg of rice with the weight, that makes a 4 kg weight.repeat this process until the weight is 16 kg. measure another 16 kg of rice that means a total of 32 kg. out of which 1 kg is the weight stone. so you will end up with 32-1=31 kg of rice.

• there are total 5 ways.
  we have only one kg of weight so,
  2kg=1kg+1kg
  4=1+2+1
  8=1+2+4+1
  16=1+2+4+8+1
  31=1+2+4+8+16

• If you weight the 1kg rice one by one then we used this one kg of weight stone.
  And if you weight 31kg rice at a time then we required 30 kg of weight stone and (one kg of weight stone this is given to the questions).
