- There are initially nine people with an average weight of 25 kg.

- The total weight of these nine people is \(9 \times 25 = 225\) kg.

- A new person joins, and the average weight becomes 26 kg for ten people.

- The total weight for 10 people is \(10 \times 26 = 260\) kg.

- The weight of the new person is the difference in total weight before and after: \(260 - 225 = 35\) kg.

- Option 1: 35 kg is the correct weight of the new person.
