Q)

The average weight of 6 persons is increased by 3 kg when a person of 100 kg comes out of the group and another person takes his place. What is the weight of new person?


  • Explanation

    According to the question

    We use the formula,

    Value of new observations= a + nb 

    [here '+' sign (a+nb) has been taken as average increases.]

    Here, n=6, a=100 kg, b= 3 kg

    Weight of new person = a+nb

    = 100+6×3

    = 100+18

    = 118 kg

    Hence, Option C is correct.
