You are correct. The total torque is the sum of the individual torqes.
200 N x 0.2 m + 200 N x 3 m = 1000 Nm

And also, Niki D., you did not state the torque units. Just the number 1000 is meaningless!11/25/21

And also assuming that *each* fisherman is exerting 200N. The question was poorly stated; they might have been exerting 200N in total; then the allocation of the forces would matter!11/25/21
