Correct Answer: 134 kg
Solution :
The average weight of 100 students = 34 kg
$\therefore$ Total weight of 100 students = 100 × 34 = 3400 kg
The average weight of first 49 students = 34 kg
$\therefore$ Total weight of first 49 students = 34 × 49 = 1666 kg
The average weight of last 50 students = 32 kg
$\therefore$ Total weight of last 50 students = 50 × 32 = 1600 kg
So, the weight of the 50
th
student = 3400 - 1666 - 1600 = 134 kg
Hence, the correct answer is 134.
