    Question

    The average weight of A, B and C is 65 kg. The average weight of A and B is 62 kg and that of B and C is 57 kg. The weight of B is:

    A.

    56 kg

    B.

    43 kg

    C.

    40 kg

    D.

    53 kg

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Average weight of A, B, C is 65 kg

    Average weight of A and B is 62 kg

    Average weight of B and C is 57 kg

    Formula Used:

    Average=Sum of observationsNumber of observationsAverage = \frac{Sum\ of\ observations}{Number\ of\ observations}​​

    Solution:

    Total weight of A,B and C is 65×3 65\times 3 = 195 kg

    Total weight of A and B is  62×262\times 2 = 124 kg

    Total weight of B and C is 57×257\times 2 = 114 kg

    Weight of C = (Total weight of A, B, C) - (Total weight of A and B)

    = 195 - 124 = 71kgs

    Weight of B = (Total weight of B and C) - Weight of C

    = 114 -71 = 43kgs

    Thus, Weight of B is 43 kgs
