• A. $22.29$ pounds
• B. $49.2$ pounds
• C. $54.6$ pounds
• D. $156$ pounds

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

As given, Sunita weighs $=78$ pounds
Poonam's weight is half of Sunita's weight.

So, Poonam's weight $=39$ pounds
Leena's weight is $7$ times more than Sunita's weight.
Then, Leena's weight is $39\times 7=273$ pounds
Kavita's weight $=\frac{1}{5}$of Leena's weight.

So, Kavita's weight=$\frac{1}{5}\times 273=54.6$ pounds
