Correct Answer: 2.6 kg


Solution : Average weight = $\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Total values}}$
Total weight of oranges = 20 × 2 = 40
Total weight of Mango = 30 × 3 = 90
Total number of boxes =  30 + 20 = 50
Average weight = $\frac{90 + 40}{50}$
⇒ Average weight = $\frac{130}{50}$ = 2.6 kg
Hence, the correct answer is 2.6 kg.
