Answer» Since the average WEIGHT of X, Y and Z is 74 kg, ⇒ X + Y + Z = 74 × 3 = 222---- (1) The average weight of X and Y be 68 kg and that of Y and Z be 78 kg, ⇒ X + Y = 68 × 2 = 136---- (2) ⇒ Y + Z = 78 × 2 = 156---- (3) Adding equation 2 and 3, ⇒ X + Y + Y + Z = 136 + 156 = 292 Subtracting equation 1 from it, ⇒ Y = 292 - 222 = 70 ∴ Weight of Y = 70 kg |
