      Question

      The average weight of a group of people is 62 kg. A person

      weighing 80 kg joins the group and the average increases by 1 kg. Find the total weight of the group before the new person joined.
      A 1054 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 1020 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 1070 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the number of people before joining be 'P'.

      Weight before = 62P

      (62P + 80) / (P + 1) = 63
      => 62P + 80 = 63P + 63
      => P = 17

      Total weight = 62 Γ— 17 = 1054 kg
