To find the total weight of the fruit, we need to multiply the weight of each bushel by the number of bushels and add the weights together.
The weight of the apples is 103 bushels * 30 pounds/bushel = 3,090 pounds.
The weight of the grapes is 102 bushels * 20 pounds/bushel = 2,040 pounds.
Adding the two weights together, the total weight of the fruit is 3,090 pounds + 2,040 pounds = 5,130 pounds.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 5,130 pounds.
