The average weight of three boys A, B and C is kg, while the average weight of B, D and E is 53 kg. What is the average weight of A, B, C, D and E?
A.
52.4 kg
B.
53.2 kg
C.
53.8 kg
D.
Data inadequate
AnswerE.
None of these
Answer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
Total weight of (A + B + C) =( × 3 ) kg
= 163 kg
Total weight of (B + D + E)
= (53 × 3) kg
= 159 kg
Adding both, we get:
= A + 2B + C + D + E
= (163 + 159) kg
= 322 kg
So, to find average weight of A, B, C, D and E, we ought to know B's weight, which is not given.
So, the data is inadequate.
