Question

The average weight of seven members of a family is 18 kg. If the head of the family is not considered, the average weight of other members becomes less by 6 kg. The weight of the head of the family is

  • A) 42 kg
  • B) 48 kg
  • C) 52 kg
  • D) 36 kg
  • E) None of these
Solution

Answer (E)

Explanation:

Total weight of seven members of the family = 18 × 7 = 126kg

Total weight of the family without its head = (18   ̶  6) × 6 = 72kg

Weight of the head of the family = (126 ̶ 72) = 54kg.

Answer (E)

Explanation:

Total weight of seven members of the family = 18 × 7 = 126kg

Total weight of the family without its head = (18   ̶  6) × 6 = 72kg

Weight of the head of the family = (126 ̶ 72) = 54kg.
