The average weight of 21 boys was recorded as 64 kg. If the weight of the principal was added, the average increased by 1 kg. What was the principal's weight?
[IBPS (PO), 2015]
Explanation
Here we can use the formula
According to the question,
Sum of weight of 21 boys (A=64, N=21)
⇒S=64 X 21 =1344
Later, Wieght of the principal is added, the average increases by 1 kg. (so A=65, N=22)
So, sum of 21 boys and principal weight is
⇒S=65 X 22 =1430
Now,
The principal's weight =(sum of weight of 21 boys)-(Sum of 21 boys and principal weight)
= 1430-1344
= 86 kg.
Hence, Option A is correct.
