The average weight of 8 persons increases by 2.5 kgs when a new person is placed in one of them weighting 65 kgs.what might be the weight of a new person?

• general formulae....
  value of added quantity =(change in avg*number of quantity )+value of removed quantity
  
  if change in avg is decreased take negative value else positive
  
  so ans 2.5*8+65=85

• Let solve in our understanding way:
  Let
  X/8=a. (X-total weight, a-average)
  By our condition let
  (X-65+n)/8=a+2.5
  By solving the above equations 'X' and 'a' are vanished we can get the 'n' value as 85
  Thus 85 is the correct answer
