The average weight of $5$ persons, sitting in a boat, is $38 \,Kg$. If the average weight of the boat and the persons sitting in the boat is $52 \,Kg$, what is the weight of the boat? (in $kg$)
A
$228$
B
$122$
C
$232$
D
$242$
Solution
Average weight of $5$ persons $=38 Kg$
Total weight of these five persons
$=38 \times 5=190 Kg$
Now, average weight of (the boat $+$ $5$ persons)
$=52 Kg$
Total weight of (the boat $+$ $5$ persons) $=52 \times 6=312 Kg$
$\therefore$ Weight of the boat $=312-190=122 Kg$
