The average weight of 8 sailors in a boat is increased by 1 kg if one of them weighing 56 kg is replaced by a new sailor. The weight of the new sailor is ?
57 kg
60 kg
64 kg
62 kg
Assume the average weight of 8 sailors = x Average = Sum total/Number Sum total = x*8
Now, one weighing 56 kg is replaced by another. Let the weight of new comer be 'y' kg Sum total = 8*x - 56 + y Given the average increases by '1', that is 'x+1' x+1 = 8*x-56+y/8...[Avg = sum total/number] 8*(x+1) = 8x - 56 + y 8*x + 8 = 8x - 56 + y y = 64 Hence, weight of the new sailor = 64 Kg
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
