Correct Answer: 100 kg
Solution : Let the average weight of 12 persons be $x$. Total weight of 12 persons = $12x$ If a person with 58 kg weight is replaced by a new person of $y$ kg weight, Average weight increases by 3.5 kg. ⇒ $12x - 58 + y = 12(x + 3.5)$ ⇒ $12x - 58 + y = 12x + 42$ $\therefore y = 58 + 42 = 100$ kg Hence, the correct answer is 100 kg.
