The average weight of 8 men is increased by 2 kg when one of them, whose weight is 90 kg, is replaced by another man. What is the weight of the new man? |
74 kg 116 kg 92 kg 106 kg |
106 kg |
Let average weight of 8 men is x Total sum of weight = 8x New average = x + 2 Sum of new weights = 8(x + 2) 90 kg is replaced by other, let it be y so, 8x - 90 + y = 8(x + 2) y = 106 kg |
