    Solution

    The sum of the weight of 4 persons = 66 × 4 = 264 kg Let the weight of the lightest person = ‘x’ kg The weight of the heaviest person = (x + 32) kg The sum of the weight of the remaining two persons = 70 × 2 = 140 kg According to the question, x + x + 32 + 140 = 264 2x = 92 x = 46 The weight of the heaviest person = 46 + 32 = 78 kg
