Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 60 kg
Let the average weight of Girls be x.
Average = sum of all weight/total number of persons
A/c to question,
1080 = Weight of Boys + Weight of girls.
1080 = (12 × 50) + (8 × x)
1080 = 600 + 8x
480 = 8x
x = 60Kg.
Hence The average weight of Girls is 60kg.
