Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total students = 45
Average weight of 10 students = 55 kg
Remaining students = 45 - 10 = 35
Average weight of 35 students = 60 kg
Formula used:
Average weight = Sum of weights of all students / Total number of students
Calculations:
Sum of weights of 10 students = 10 × 55 = 550 kg
Sum of weights of 35 students = 35 × 60 = 2100 kg
Total weight = 550 + 2100 = 2650 kg
Total students = 45
⇒ Average weight = 2650/45 ≈ 59 (rounded off to nearest integer)
∴ The correct answer is option (2).
