    C 62.75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 62.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total weight of 150 occupants = 150 × 50.9 = 7635 Number of senior citizen occupants = 10/100 × 150 = 15 Average weight of senior citizen occuoants = 68 × 15 = 1020 Number of occupants less than 18 years = 40/100 × 150 = 60 Total weight = 60 × 32 = 1920 kg Average weight of remaining persons = (7635 - 1020 - 1920)/(150 - 15 - 60) = 4695/75 = 62.6
