    D 70 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the average weight of the three instructors be 'x' kg. So, total weight of the three instructors = 3 ├Ч x = '3x' kg. ATQ: 45 ├Ч 12 + '3x' = 50 ├Ч (12 + 3) Or, 540 + 3x = 50 ├Ч 15 Or, 540 + 3x = 750 Or, 3x = 750 - 540 = 210 Or, x = 210 ├╖ 3 = 70 Therefore, the average weight of the three instructors is 70 kg.
