I suggest that the question is testing your knowledge of statics and simple moment balances. Calculating the wheel loads is the reverse of doing the conventional calculation to determine the CG position.
Other than that, the question is a little pointless, not overly useful, and, I would have thought, not all that relevant to a pilot ... to the weights and balance man, sure ... but the typical pilot doesn't get to worry about this sort of thing.
The basic concepts, however, are quite important to a pilot.
