Correct Answer: 66
Solution : Let $x$ be the weight of Raghav. According to Raghav, $64 < x < 74$ -----------(i) According to his sister, $60 < x < 69$ ---------(ii) According to his father, $x \leq 67$ --------(iii) According to his mother, $x \leq 68$ --------(iv) Taking the intersection of all inequalities (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get: $64 < x \leq 67$ Probable weights are 65, 66, and 67 $\therefore$ Average weight = $\frac{65+66+67}{3} = 66$ Hence, the correct answer is 66.
