of food and women eat on an average 35 kg of food. The men and women are equal in number. A woman joined the family for dinner and the average consumption became 45. How much did woman eat (in kgs)?Solution
As men and women are equal so , there are 5 women and 5 men so, total consumption will be 40 × 5 = 200 (by men) and 35 × 5 = 175 (by women)
Total consumption = 375 kg

So the total consumption will be 45 × 11 = 495 kg
So, woman’s consumption will be = 495 – 375 = 120 kg
