A.

42

B.

C.

32

D.

47

Correct option is C

Given:
Average weight of Akshay, Atul and Baban = 46 kg
Average weight of Akshay and Atul = 39 kg
Average weight of Atul and Baban = 46 kg
Formula Used:
Average=Total SumNumber of persons\text{Average}=\frac{\text{Total Sum}}{\text{Number of persons}}​​
Solution:
Sum of weights of Akshay, Atul and Baban = 3 × 46 = 138 kg
Sum of weights of Akshay and Atul = 2 × 39 = 78 kg
Sum of weights of Atul and Baban = 2 × 46 = 92 kg
Let weight of Atul = x kg
Weight of Akshay = 78 − x
Weight of Baban = 92 − x
Total weight = (78 − x) + x + (92 − x) = 138
170 − x = 138
x = 32
