      The average weight of a family of 6 members is 72 kg. If

      the oldest member dies, the average weight of the family decreases by 1.6 kg. Find the weight of person who died.
      A 68 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 75 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 80 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 82 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the weight of the person who died be ‘x’ kg. So, x + (72 – 1.6) × 5 = 6 × 72 x + 70.4 × 5 = 432 x + 352 = 432 x = 432 – 352 x = 80 kg So, weight of the person who died was 80 kg.
