Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the five persons be A, B, C, D, EAccording to the question,
= $$\frac{A + B + C + D + E}{5}$$ = 38 kg
= A + B + C + D + E = 190 kg.....(i)
$$\frac{{5\,{\text{persons}} + {\text{Boat}}}}{6} = 52$$
5 persons + Boat = 312 kg.....(ii)
∴ Boat's weight = 312 - 190 = 122 kg
