The average weight of 10 men is decreased by 2 kg when one of them whose weight is 60 kg is replaced by a new man. What is the weight of the new man?

35 KG

40 KG

45 KG

50 KG

Average decrease in weight per person = 2kg

There are 10 men so total decrease in weight on replacing a man with a new man = 10 ∗ 2= 20 kg

Weight of the man who is replaced = 60 kg

∴The weight of the new man would be = Weight of man replaced - total decrease in weight of the group of 10 men.

= 60 - 20 = 40 kg
