8 kg

Let the weight of 5 members of a team be a, b, c, d, e kg. respectively, then
When a is weighted, his average weight=a
Average weight of a & b= (a+b)/2 = a+1 => b=a+2 ---(i)
Average weight of a,b & c =(a+b+c)/3=a+2
Substituting value of b, we get [a+ (a+2) +c]/3=a+2 => c=a+4 ---(ii)
Average weight of a, b, c & d = (a+b+c+d)/4=a+3
Substituting value of b & c, we get [a+(a+2)+(a+4)+d]/4=a+3 => d=a+6 ---(iii)
Average weight of a,b,c,d & e = (a+b+c+d+e)/5=a+4
Substituting value of b,c & d, we get [a+(a+2)+(a+4)+(a+6)+e]/5=a+4 => e=a+8
Thus e - a = 8
