    The average weight of 15 boys in a group is 48 kg. If

    the collective weight of 12 girls in another group is 25% lower than that of the boys, what is the ratio of the average weight of a boy to that of a girl?
    A 9:8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16:15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 7:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 22:19 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total weight of all boys = 15 X 48 = 720 kg So, total weight of all girls = 720 X 0.75 = 540 kg So, average weight of a girl = 540 ÷ 12 = 45 kg Required ratio = 48:45 = 16:15 Hence, option b.
