By dieting family reduces weight and the Average weight of the family reduced by 6 Kg, Mother and Father reduced 2 kg each, and Daughter and Son reduced weight in ratio 3 : 2 How much Kg Daughter reduced weight? Correct Answer 12

Given:

The average weight of Family reduced by 6 kg

Mother and Father reduced 2kg each

Daughter : Son = 3 : 2

Concept Used: 

Average = Sum of all numbers/Total number

Calculation: 

There are four members in the family and Average reduced by 6 kg 

Total weight reduced by family = 6 × 4 = 24

Mother and Father reduced 4 kg in total 

Daughter and Son reduced weight = 24 – 4 = 20  

⇒ 3x + 2x = 20 

⇒ x = 4

∴ The daughter reduced the weight is 12 kg.
