Correct Answer: 67


Solution : The average weight of A, B and C = 65 kg
The sum of weights of A, B and C = 65 × 3 = 195 kg
The average weight of A and B = 63.5 kg
The sum of weights of A and B = 63.5 × 2 = 127 kg
Weight of C = 195 – 127 = 68 kg
The average weight of A and C = 67.5 kg
The sum of weights of A and C = 67.5 × 2 = 135 kg
Weight of A = 135 – 68 = 67 kg
Hence, the correct answer is 67.
