Solution

The correct option is E

67


Let Vignesh's weight = x.

Then According to Vignesh, 65 < x < 77 ------------ (equation 1)

According to brother, 63 < x < 72 ------------(equation 2)

According to mother, x68------------(equation 3)

Given that equation 1,equation 2 and equation 3 are correct.

By combining these equations, we can write as 65<x68

That is x = 66 or 67 or 68

Average of different probable weights of Vignesh = (66+67+68)/3 = 67
