Sum of the weight of A, B, C and D = 75 × 4 = 300 kg
and average weight of A, B, C, D and E = 71 kg
sum of the weight of A, B, C, D and E
= 71 × 5 = 355 kg
weight of E = 355 – 300 = 55 kg
weight of F = 55 + 6 = 61 kg
Now, average weight of F, B, C, D and E = 72 kg
Sum of the weight of F, B, C, D and E = 72 × 5 = 360 kg
B + C + D = 360 – 55 – 61 = 244 kg.
Weight of A = 300 – 244 = 56 kg.
