SSC CHSL 26th May 2022 Shift-1
Explanation:
- The average weight of 15 athletes and 3 trainers (total 18 people) is 60 kg.
- So, total weight = 18 × 60 = 1080 kg.
- Four more athletes join, each with average weight 63 kg: total extra weight = 4 × 63 = 252 kg.
- New total number = 18 + 4 = 22 people.
- New total weight = 1080 + 252 = 1332 kg.
- New average = 1332 ÷ 22 = 60.545..., which rounds off to 61 kg.
