Option 2 : 126 cm

The average height of the group of 15 friends is 152 cm

∴ Sum of height of the group = 152 × 15 = 2280 cm

Now one friend left the group and 3 new friends with total height of 362 cm joined them such that average height of the group becomes 148

Let the weight of person who left the group be x cm

∴ 2280 – x + 362 = 148 × 17

⇒ 2642 – x = 2516

⇒ x = 126

∴ The height of the person who left the group is 126 cm
