Question : The average weight of 40 children in a class is 36.2 kg. When three more children of weights 42.3 kg, 39.7 kg, and 39.5 kg join the class, the average weight of the 43 children in the class is:
Option 1: 39.2 kg
Option 2: 36.5 kg
Option 3: 38.35 kg
Option 4: 37.3 kg
Correct Answer: 36.5 kg
Solution :
Total weight of 40 children = 40 × 36.2 kg = 1448 kg
Total weight of 43 children = 1448 + 42.3 + 39.7 + 39.5 = 1569.5 kg
So, the required average weight = $\frac{1569.5}{43}$ = 36.5 kg
Hence, the correct answer is 36.5 kg.
