    Solution

    The sum of the weight of 4 persons = 35 × 4 = 140 kg Let the weight of the lightest person = ‘x’ kg The weight of the heaviest person = (x + 24) kg The sum of the weight of the remaining two persons = 44 × 2 = 88 kg According to the question, x + x + 24 + 88 = 140 2x = 28 x = 14 The weight of the heaviest person = 14 + 24 = 38 kg
