What was the average weight of all the persons in the colony? Statement I: There are total 40 persons in the colony.

What was the average weight of all the persons in the colony? Statement I: There are total 40 persons in the colony. Statement II: If 3 persons whose average weight is 56.5 kg left the colony and 3 new persons whose total weight is 137.5 kg joined the colony then the average weight of all the persons in the colony decreases by 0.8 kg. Correct Answer Both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
Suppose average weight of all the persons in the colony is ‘x’ kg.
Statement I and II:
40x – 56.5 × 3 + 137.5 = (x – 0.8) × 40
⇒ 40x – 32 = 40x – 32
Value of x can’t be calculated from this.
∴ Both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
