Answer: (d)D.

63

Why this answer is correct

Persons: A, B, C, D, E, F and G

  1. The minimum weight required to fulfil body mass index criteria for them is 60 kg.

  2. The weight of A is exactly same as the minimum required weight i.e. A = 60 kg

  3. C’s weight is 5 kg less than A i.e. 60 - 5 = 55 kg

S. No.PersonWeight

  1. G’s weight is 10 kg more than C i.e. 55 + 10 = 65 kg

  2. D’s weight is 1 kg less than G, and G’s weight is 8 kg more than B.

(i.e. D’s weight = 65 - 1 = 64; B’s weight = 65 - 8 = 57 kg)

  1. E’s weight is 2 kg more than the minimum requirement i.e. 60 + 2 = 62 kg

  2. The weight of F is average of D and E.

{Weight of F = (weight of D + weight of E) / 2}

∴ Weight of F = (64 + 62) / 2

∴ Weight of F = 63 kg

S. No.PersonWeight

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Two

Why this answer is correct

Persons: A, B, C, D, E, F and G

  1. The minimum weight required to fulfil body mass index criteria for them is 60 kg.

  2. The weight of A is exactly same as the minimum required weight i.e. A = 60 kg

  3. C’s weight is 5 kg less than A i.e. 60 - 5 = 55 kg

S. No.PersonWeight

  1. G’s weight is 10 kg more than C i.e. 55 + 10 = 65 kg

  2. D’s weight is 1 kg less than G, and G’s weight is 8 kg more than B.

(i.e. D’s weight = 65 - 1 = 64; B’s weight = 65 - 8 = 57 kg)

  1. E’s weight is 2 kg more than the minimum requirement i.e. 60 + 2 = 62 kg

  2. The weight of F is average of D and E.

{Weight of F = (weight of D + weight of E) / 2}

∴ Weight of F = (64 + 62) / 2

∴ Weight of F = 63 kg

S. No.PersonWeight
1A60
2B57
3C55

Final arrangement,

G (65) > D (64) > F (63) > E (62)> A (60) > B (57) > C (55)

Hence, two candidates B and C did not fulfil the criteria, because there weights are less there 60 kg.

Answer: (c)C.

C

Why this answer is correct

Persons: A, B, C, D, E, F and G

  1. The minimum weight required to fulfil body mass index criteria for them is 60 kg.

  2. The weight of A is exactly same as the minimum required weight i.e. A = 60 kg

  1. G’s weight is 10 kg more than C i.e. 55 + 10 = 65 kg

  2. D’s weight is 1 kg less than G, and G’s weight is 8 kg more than B.

(i.e. D’s weight = 65 - 1 = 64; B’s weight = 65 - 8 = 57 kg)

  1. E’s weight is 2 kg more than the minimum requirement i.e. 60 + 2 = 62 kg

  2. The weight of F is average of D and E.

{Weight of F = (weight of D + weight of E) / 2}

∴ Weight of F = (64 + 62) / 2

∴ Weight of F = 63 kg

S. No.PersonWeight

  1. G’s weight is 10 kg more than C i.e. 55 + 10 = 65 kg

  2. D’s weight is 1 kg less than G, and G’s weight is 8 kg more than B.

(i.e. D’s weight = 65 - 1 = 64; B’s weight = 65 - 8 = 57 kg)

  1. E’s weight is 2 kg more than the minimum requirement i.e. 60 + 2 = 62 kg

  2. The weight of F is average of D and E.

{Weight of F = (weight of D + weight of E) / 2}

Answer: (b)B.

1 kg

Why this answer is correct

Persons: A, B, C, D, E, F and G

  1. The minimum weight required to fulfil body mass index criteria for them is 60 kg.

  2. The weight of A is exactly same as the minimum required weight i.e. A = 60 kg

  3. C’s weight is 5 kg less than A i.e. 60 - 5 = 55 kg

S. No.PersonWeight

7G

 

  1. G’s weight is 10 kg more than C i.e. 55 + 10 = 65 kg

  2. D’s weight is 1 kg less than G, and G’s weight is 8 kg more than B.

(i.e. D’s weight = 65 - 1 = 64; B’s weight = 65 - 8 = 57 kg)

  1. E’s weight is 2 kg more than the minimum requirement i.e. 60 + 2 = 62 kg

  2. The weight of F is average of D and E.

{Weight of F = (weight of D + weight of E) / 2}

∴ Weight of F = (64 + 62) / 2

∴ Weight of F = 63 kg
