    If the average weight of Gopal and Akshay be 40 kg and that of Akshay and Atul be 45 kg, then the weight of Akshay (in kg) is: 
    A 47 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 42 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 32 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 52 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Average of Gopal, Akshay, Atul = 46 ⇒ G + A + T = 46 × 3 = 138 Average of Gopal and Akshay = 40 ⇒ G + A = 80 Average of Akshay and Atul = 45 ⇒ A + T = 90 Add last two equations: (G + A) + (A + T) = 80 + 90 G + 2A + T = 170 But G + A + T = 138 Subtract: (G + 2A + T) − (G + A + T) = 170 − 138 A = 32
