Answer
No. of girls = Total - No. of boys = 50 - 40 = 10.
Average weight of class =
∴ Total weight = Average weight × No. of students
⇒ Total weight = 44 × 50 = 2200
Average weight of girls =
∴ Weight of girls = Average weight of girls × No. of girls
⇒ Weight of girls = 40 × 10 = 400.
Total weight of boys = Total weight - Weight of girls = 2200 - 400 = 1800.
Average weight of boys = = 45.
Hence, the average weight of boys is 45 kg.
