Detailed Solution

We have to find the mean weight of the remaining students, if the mean weight of 60 students of a class is 52.75 kg and if the mean weight of 25 of them is 51 kg.
We know that,
Mean= Sum of all observations  Number of observations
The mean weight of 60 students in a class is 52.75 kg and the mean weight of 25 of them is 51 kg.
Mathematically,
Sum of weight of 60 students 60 =52.75 Sum of weight of 60 students=52.75×60 =3165 Sum of weight of 25 students 25 =51 Sum of weight of 25 students=51×25 =1275
Now, subtract the weight of 25 students from 60 students,
31651275=1890 Calculating the mean of 35 students,
1890 35 =54 Hence, the mean of 35 students is 54kg.
Therefore, option 2 is correct.
