The average weight of 12 apples is 0.5 kg. If 3 watermelons are added in the bag (in which the apples are kept) then the calculated average weight increases by 0.5 kg. What is the weight of 3 watermelons?1). 62). 103). 94). 14

Answer»

$({\rm{Average}} = \FRAC{{{\rm{total\;weight\;of\;all\;ITEMS}}}}{{{\rm{number\;of\;items}}}})$

The average weight of 12 apples = 0.5 kg

∴ The total weight of 12 apples = 0.5 × 12 = 6 kg

The average weight of (12 apples and 3 watermelons = 15 items) = 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 kg

∴ Total weight of 15 items = 1 × 15 = 15 kg

∴ The weight of 3 watermelons = 15 - 6 = 9 kg
