Ram, Shyam, Rohan, Reeta and Mukesh are five members of a family who are weighed consecutively and their average weight is calculated after each member is weighed. If the average weight increase by 2 kg each time, how many heavier is Mukesh than Ram? |
14 kg 18 kg 16 kg 12 kg |
16 kg |
Let's assume weight of Ram is x kg. Avg. weight of first four members = x+6 Avg. weight of first four members = x+8 So, weight of fifth member= 5(x+8) - 4 (x+6)= x+16 Mukesh id 16 Kg heavier than Ram |
