Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 24 kg Given: Average weight of Aman, Vistara, and Damini = 70 kg Average weight of Aman, Vistara, Damini, and Vishwa = 66 kg Average weight of Vistara, Damini, Vishwa, and Tara = 75 kg Formula used: Average = (Total weight) / Number of people Calculation: Total weight of Aman, Vistara, and Damini = 70 × 3 ⇒ 210 kg Total weight of Aman, Vistara, Damini, and Vishwa = 66 × 4 ⇒ 264 kg ----(i) Weight of Vishwa = 264 – 210 ⇒ 54 kg Weight of Tara = 54 + 6 = 60 kg Total weight of Vistara, Damini, Vishwa, and Tara = 75 × 4 ⇒ 300 kg ----(ii) Subtracting (i) from (ii) Tara – Aman = 300 – 264 ⇒ Weight of Aman = 60 – 36 ⇒ Weight of Aman = 24 kg ∴ The weight of Aman is 24 Kg. |
