Correct Answer: 71 kg
Solution :
Let the weight of Shubha, Govinda, and Reshma be $a, b,$ and $c$ respectively.
Given, the average weight of Shubha, Govinda, and Reshma is 65 kg. The average weight of Shubha and Govinda is 63 kg and that of Govinda and Reshma is 70 kg.
⇒ $\frac{(a + b + c)}{3} = 65$
⇒ $a + b + c = 195$--------(1)
Also, $\frac{(a + b)}{2} = 63$
⇒ $a + b = 126$---------(2)
$\frac{(b + c)}{2}= 70$
⇒ $b + c = 140$---------(3)
(2) + (3) – (1)
$\therefore b = 140 + 126 - 195 = 71$ kg
Hence, the correct answer is 71 kg.
