    Incorrect Answer

    58.8kg

    Incorrect Answer

    59kg

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    Let the Weight of n girls=x and weight of m boys =y
    As per the question, $$n=60\times \dfrac{40}{100}=24$$
    Given that $$m+n=60$$
    $$m=60-24=36$$
    Average weight of boys $$\dfrac{y}{36}=62$$Kg
    $$\Rightarrow y=62\times 36$$
    Average weight of girls $$\dfrac{x}{24}=55$$Kg
    $$\Rightarrow x=55\times 24$$
    So, average weight of whole classes $$=\dfrac{x+y}{m+n}=\dfrac{62\times 36 +55\times 24}{24+36} $$
    $$\Rightarrow \dfrac{2232+1320}{24+36}=\dfrac{3553}{60}=59.2$$Kg
