    Question

    The average weight of a team of 5 players is 75 kg. If

    the heaviest player leaves the team, the average weight becomes 70 kg. Find the weight of the player who left.
    A 95 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 100 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 80 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 90 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the weight of the person who left be ‘x’ kg. So, x + (75 – 5) × 4 = 5 × 75 x + 70 × 4 = 375 x + 280 = 375 x = 375 – 280 x = 95 kg So, weight of the person who left was 95 kg.
