This Question has 1 answers.
Average weight of 40 passengers = 58 kg
When driver, conductor & 2 helpers are included, average weight of 40 + 4 = 44 people = 58 + 2 = 60 kg
⇒ Total weight of 44 people = 44 × 60 = 2640 kg
When the weight of bus is also included, average weight = 7 × 60 = 420 kg
⇒ Total weight of bus & 44 people = 45 × 420 = 18900 kg
∴ Weight of bus = 18900 – 2640 = 16260 kgSimilar Questions
