    A 465 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 440 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 525 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 530 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let 6 weights are a,b,c, d ,e & f respectively. So c = 720 and c = 160% of e So e = c/1.6 =720/1.6 = 450 a = 3e = 3*450 = 1350 and a = 75% of d So d = a/0.75 = 1350/0.75 = 1800 b =2.5e = 1125 f = 1/5 of b = 1125/5 = 225 ∴ Required Average = (720+450+225)/3 = 1395/3 = 465
