    Question

    The average weight of 7 people increases by 5 kg when a new person comes in place of one of them weighing 55 kg. What is the weight of the new person?

    A.

    85 kgs

    B.

    90 kgs

    C.

    75kgs

    D.

    100 kgs

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    The average weight of 7 people increases by 5 kg when a new person comes in place of one of them weighing 55 kg.
    Formula Used:
    Weight of new person = weight of the person being replaced + total change in weight
    Solution:
    Weight of the person replaced = 55 kg
    Total change in weight due to new person = 5 kg per person for 7 people
    Total change in weight due to new person = 5 × 7 = 35 kg
    Weight of new person = 55 + 35 = 90 kg
