Solution
The correct option is B 32 kg
To find the mode of the given data, we first arrange the data into an ordered list of weights and its frequency of occurrence:
Weight (in kg)
Frequency
32
4
35
3
37
3
39
2
40
1
41
1
From this, we can see that 32 kg is the most occurring value with a frequency of 4.
Hence, the mode of the given data set is 32 kg.

| 32 | 4 |
| 35 | 3 |
| 37 | 3 |
| 39 | 2 |
| 40 | 1 |
| 41 | 1 |
From this, we can see that 32 kg is the most occurring value with a frequency of 4.
