A, B, C, D, E, F and G are cousins. D is thrice as old as A. Further, C is as many years younger to B, as G to E and E to D. The average age of D and G is 16 years; the average age of A and E is 11 years; the average age of B and C is also 11 years. B and C have equal weight. A's weight is 10 kg less than that of B; D is 4 kg heavier than E; E is 4 kg heavier than F; F is 4 kg heavier than G. Further, D has age-weight ratio of 9 : 20, where age is in years and weight in kg; A has age-weight ratio of 2 : 5. Moreover, none of them is more than 40 kg. What is the average weight (in kg) of A, B, C, D, E, F and G?
- A201/7
- B197/7
- C30
- D32
Explanation
From the ratios and weight chains: A = 15, B = 25, C = 25, D = 40, E = 36, F = 32, G = 28 kg, every weight respecting the 40 kg cap. Their sum is 15 + 25 + 25 + 40 + 36 + 32 + 28 = 201 kg. The average weight of the seven cousins is 201/7 kg, option (A).
