  • D. 53.45 kgs

  • Correct Answer
  • 52.66 kgs 

    Explanation

    Given total number of passengers in the bus = 45

    Average weight of passengers who joined the bus = 54

    Therefore, the net average weight of the bus is given by

    =   45   x   52   -   5   x   48   +   5   x   54 45   =   2370 45 =   158 3 =   52 . 66   kgs .
