  • Question
  • The average weight of a class of 15 boys and 10 girls is 38.4 kg. If the average weight of the boys is 40 kg, then what is the average weight of the girls?


  • Options
  • A. 36.5 kg
  • B. 35 kg
  • C. 36 kg
  • D. 35.6 kg

  • Correct Answer
  • 36 kg 

    Explanation

    Given that, number of boys (n1) = 15
    Numbers of girls (n2)= 10
    Average weight of boys and girls = 38.4 kg
    Average of boys = 40 kg
    Let average of girls be a2
    By formula, average = (na1 + n2 a2) / (n1 + n2)
    ? 38.4 = (15(40) + 10 x a2)/(15 + 10)
    ? 38.4 x 25 = 600+ 10a2
    ? a2= (960 - 600)/10 = 360/10 = 36 kg
