    If the average weight of 3 Mohan and Rupali is 42 kg and that of Rupali and Ashish is 49 kg, then Rupali's weight (in kg) is:
    A 67 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 62 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 47 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 57 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Average of Mohan, Rupali and Ashish = 45
    Total weight = 45 Γ— 3 = 135 Average of 3 Mohan and Rupali = 42
    3M + R = 42 Γ— 4 = 168 Average of Rupali and Ashish = 49
    R + A = 49 Γ— 2 = 98 Also,
    M + R + A = 135 From R + A = 98 β‡’ A = 98 βˆ’ R Substitute:
    M + 98 = 135
    M = 37 Put in 3M + R = 168 3 Γ— 37 + R = 168
    111 + R = 168 R = 57 kg
