Answer» AVERAGE HEIGHT of A, B, & C = 148 So, A + B + C = 148 × 3 = 444----(1) Average height of A & B = 136 So, A + B = 136 × 2 = 272----(2) Average height of B & C = 125 So, B + C = 125 × 2 = 250----(3) Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) A + B + C – A – B = 444 – 272 ⇒ C = 172 Putting value of C in equation (3), we get B + 172 = 250 ∴ B = 250 – 172 = 78 cm |
