Question

Ram weights $25$ kg more than Shyam. Their combined weight is $325$ kg. How much does Shyam weight?

• A. $150$ kg
• B. $175$ kg
• C. $200$ kg
• D. $125$ kg

Answer 1

The correct option is A $150$ kg

Let Shyam's weight be $x$ kg.

Then, Ram's weight $=(x+25)$ kg
Given, the sum of their weights is $325$ kg. Then, we have

$x+(x+25)=325$
$\Rightarrow 2x+25=325$
$\Rightarrow 2x=325-25=300$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{300}{2}=150$
$\therefore$ Shyam's weight $=150$ kg.
