      Question

      The mean weight of 20 athletes is 70.2 kg. If weights of

      two athletes are excluded, the mean of the remaining becomes 69.5 kg. Calculate the average weight of the two excluded athletes.
      A 76.5 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 53.5 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 72.3 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 88.8 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Total weight of 20 athletes = 20 × 70.2 = 1404 kg

      Total weight after excluding 2 athletes = 18 × 69.5 = 1251 kg

      Sum of weights of the 2 athletes = 1404 - 1251 = 153 kg

      Average weight of the 2 athletes = 153 ÷ 2 = 76.5 kg
