    C 243, 52 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 244, 54 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Total of A, B, and C = A+B+C=60×3=180 Total of A and B = A+B=55×2=110 Total of B and C = B+C=58×2=116 Find C = C=180−110=70 Find A = A=180−116=64 Find B = B=110−64=46 Hence, B's weight is 46 kg.
