D 59 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

The sum of the weight of 4 persons = 44 × 4 = 176 kg Let the weight of the lightest person = ‘x’ kg The weight of the heaviest person = (x + 30) kg The sum of the weight of the remaining two persons = 48 × 2 = 96 kg According to the question, x + x + 30 + 96 = 176 2x = 50 x = 25 The weight of the heaviest person = 25 + 30 = 55 kg
