The average weight of three men A, B and C is 84 Kg. The average weight becomes 80 Kg when D joins them. If E whose weight is 3 Kg more than D joins the group replacing A, then the average weight of B, C, D and E becomes 79 Kg. The weight of A is:
(a)65kg (b)70kg (c)75kg (d)80kg
Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- 75 kg
Wt of ABC = 84*3= 252 kg
wt of ABCD= 80*4=320 kg
wt of D= 68 kg
wt of E = 71 kg
wt of ABCDE = 320+71=391 kg
wt of BCDE = 79*4=316 kg
wt of A = 391-316=75 kg - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(2)
- 75 kg d weight=80*4-84*3=68
e weight=68+3=71kg
b,c,d.e er weight=316-(68+71)=177kg aweight=252-177=75kg

- 75 kg
(a+b+c)/3=84
(a+b+c+d)/4=80
(b+c+d+e)/4=79 which is (b+c+d+d+3)/4=79
now a+b+c=252
substituting in 2nd equation d=68 so e=71
substituting value of d and e in 3rd euation we get b+c=177
a+177=252 hence a=75kg - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)
- a+b+c=84*3=252
a+b+c+d=80*4=320
so d=320-252=68
e=68+3=71
b+c+68+71=79*4=316
b+c=316-139=177
a+b+c=252
so a=252-177=75 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
