    Question

    The average weight of 32 parcels was recorded as 96 kg. If the weight of one more parcel is included, the average is increased by 2 kg. The weight of the new parcel is:

    A.

    192 kg

    B.

    162 kg

    C.

    182 kg

    D.

    172 kg

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Initial average weight = 96 kg

    Number of parcels initially = 32

    New average after adding one parcel = 98 kg

    Total parcels after addition = 33

    Formula Used:

    New parcel weight = (New average × New total parcels) − (Old average × Old total parcels)

    Solution:

    New parcel weight = (98 × 33) − (96 × 32)

    = 3234 – 3072

    = 162 kg
