The correct Answer is:
To determine whose body weight is the second highest among the five boys Arun, Vinay, Suraj, Raju, and Pratap, we will analyze the information provided in both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I - **Given Information:** - Average weight of Arun, Suraj, and Vinay = 68 kg - Average weight of Raju and Pratap = 72 kg - Suraj's weight = 78 kg - Raju's weight = 68 kg - Vinay's weight = 46 kg - **Calculating Total Weights:** - From the average weight of Arun, Suraj, and Vinay: \[ \frac{A + S + V}{3} = 68 \implies A + S + V = 204 \text{ kg} \] Substituting Suraj's weight: \[ A + 78 + 46 = 204 \implies A + 124 = 204 \implies A = 80 \text{ kg} \] - From the average weight of Raju and Pratap: \[ \frac{R + P}{2} = 72 \implies R + P = 144 \text{ kg} \] We know Raju's weight: \[ 68 + P = 144 \implies P = 76 \text{ kg} \] - **Weights Summary:** - Arun = 80 kg - Suraj = 78 kg - Vinay = 46 kg - Raju = 68 kg - Pratap = 76 kg ### Step 2: Identify the Weights - Now we have the weights: - Arun = 80 kg - Suraj = 78 kg - Raju = 68 kg - Vinay = 46 kg - Pratap = 76 kg ### Step 3: Determine the Second Highest Weight - Arranging the weights in descending order: 1. Arun = 80 kg 2. Suraj = 78 kg 3. Pratap = 76 kg 4. Raju = 68 kg 5. Vinay = 46 kg - **Conclusion:** The second highest weight is that of Suraj, which is 78 kg. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement II - **Given Information:** - Average weight of Arun, Suraj, Vinay, and Raju = 68 kg - Suraj's weight = 78 kg - Raju's weight = 68 kg - Vinay's weight = 46 kg - All weights are different. - **Calculating Total Weights:** - From the average weight of Arun, Suraj, Vinay, and Raju: \[ \frac{A + S + V + R}{4} = 68 \implies A + S + V + R = 272 \text{ kg} \] Substituting known weights: \[ A + 78 + 46 + 68 = 272 \implies A + 192 = 272 \implies A = 80 \text{ kg} \] - **Weights Summary:** - Arun = 80 kg - Suraj = 78 kg - Raju = 68 kg - Vinay = 46 kg - Since all weights are different, Pratap must have a weight different from the others. ### Step 5: Conclusion from Both Statements - Both statements provide consistent information about the weights of the boys. - The second highest weight remains Suraj at 78 kg. ### Final Answer - The body weight that is second highest among the five boys is Suraj's weight of 78 kg.
