Question

Arul's weight is 4 times the weight of Arav. Find Arav's weight if the sum of their weights is 50 kg.

• A. 56 kg
• B. 45 kg
• C. 40 kg
• D. 60 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is C

40 kg

Let the weight of Arav = x

$\therefore$ Arul's weight is 4 times the weight of Arav = 4x

$\therefore$ from the given information,

sum of their 2 weights = 50 kg

$x+4x=50kg$

$5x=50kg$

$x=10kg$

Arav's weight $=4x$

$=4\times 10kg$

$=40kg$
