    B Quantity I < Quantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Quantity I ≥ Quantity II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Quantity II ≥ Quantity I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Quantity I: Increased Average = 1.5, Number of people (n) = 30 Average = Total sum/n Total weight increased = 1.5 × 30 = 45 kg Weight of new man = 45 + 48 = 93 kg Quantity II: Total weight of 60 students = 60 × 70 New weight = (60 × 70) – 72 – 64 + 64 + 52 = (60 × 70) – 20 New average = (4200 – 20)/60 = 69.66 kg
