Solution
The mean weight of 10 boys is 50 kg. When one boy left, the mean weight becomes 49 kg. The weight of that boy is 59 kg.
Explanation:
The mean weight of 10 boys is 50 kg
Total weight of the 10 boys = 10 × 50 = 500 kg
When one boy left, the mean weight becomes 49 kg
Total weight of the remaining 9 boys = 9 × 49 = 441 kg
The weight of the boy who left = 500 − 441 = 59 kg
