The average weight of R, P and K is 40 kg. If the average weight of P and K is 45 kg and average weight of R and K is 35 kg, then what is the weight of K? |
40 kg 70 kg 90 kg 120 kg |
40 kg |
Let's assume weight of R, P & K are also denoted by same letters R + P + K = 40 x 3 =120 -------------- 1 P + K = 45 x 2 = 90 ---------------2 R + K = 35 x 2 = 70 ---------------3 Add. equation 2 & 3 R + P + 2K = 160 ---------------4 From 1 and 4 (160 - 2K) + K = 120 K = 40
