Solution
80 kgs.
Explanation:
Here,
Average weight of three men X, Y and Z = 75 kgs.
∴ Total weight of three men X, Y and Z = 75 × 3 = 225 kgs.
A joins the group and average weight = 80 kgs
∴ Total weight of this group = 80 × 4 = 320 kgs.
∴ weight of A = 320 – 225 = 95 kgs.
∴ weight of B is 5 kg more than A.
∴ weight of B = 95 + 5 = 100 kgs.
Total weight of X, Y, A, and Z = 320 kgs.
Total weight of X, Y, AB and Z = 320 + 100 = 420 kgs.
Total weight of Y, Z, A and B = 85 × 4 = 340 kg.
∴ weight of X = (420 – 340) = 80 kgs.
