The average height of A, B and C is 148 cm. If the average height of A and B is 136 cm and that of B and C is 125 cm, then what is the height (in cm) of B?1). 562). 783). 1124). 130

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
