Correct Answer: 45 kg
Solution : Given, Average of 4 boys = 50 kg ⇒ Sum of weight of 4 boys = 50 × 4 = 200 kg Average of 4 girls = 40 kg ⇒ Sum of weight of 4 girls = 40 × 4 = 160 kg Total sum of 8 students = (Sum of weight of 4 boys + Sum of weight of 4 girls) = (200 + 160) = 360 kg ⇒ Average $=\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{No. of values}}=\frac{360}{8}= 45$ kg Hence, the correct answer 45 kg.
