    Question

    The average weight of 7 persons increases by 3 kg when a new person comes in place of one of them weighing 56 kg. What might be the weight of the new person?

    A.

    66 kg

    B.

    77 kg

    C.

    59 kg

    D.

    71 kg

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Average increases by 3 kg

    Number of persons = 7

    One person of 56 kg is replaced

    Formula Used:

    Increase in average leads to total increase in weight = Increase × Number of persons

    New person’s weight = Weight of replaced person + Total increase

    Solution:

    Total increase = 3 × 7 = 21 kg

    New person’s weight = 56 + 21 = 77 kg
