Correct Answer: 32 kg
Solution : Average weight of A, B, C, and D = 33 kg C is 12 kg lighter than A. B is 6 kg heavier than C. D is 10 kg less than that of C. Let the value of A be $x$ kg. Weight of C $= x - 12$ kg Weight of B $= x - 12 + 6 = x - 6$ kg Weight of D $= x -12 - 10 = x - 22$ kg Average = $\frac{\text{Sum of values}}{\text{Number of values}}$ So, the average of A, B, C, and D $= \frac{x+x-12+x-6+x-22}{4} = \frac{4\text{x}-40}{4} = x -10$ Now, $x - 10 = 33$ ⇒ $x = 33 + 10 = 43$ kg Then, the weight of A = 43 kg Weight of D $= x - 22 = 43 - 22 = 21$ kg So, the average weight of A and D $= \frac{43+21}{2} = \frac{64}{2} = 32$ kg $\therefore$ The average weight of A and D is 32 kg. Hence, the correct answer is 32 kg.
