A. 34

B. 36

C. 30

D. None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Average weight of 75 girls = 47 kgs
Total weight of 75 girls
= 47 × 75
= 3525 kgs
Actual weight of 75 girls = x
Correct weight of 75 girls
= 3525 - 45 + 25
= 3525 - 20
= 3505 kgs
∴ Required average weight
x =$$\frac{3505}{75}$$
x = 46.73 kgs
