The average weight of A, B and C is 43 kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 kg and that of B and C be 43 kg, then the weight of B is: Options:
A) 33 kg	B) 31 kg	C) 32 kg	D) 36 kg	E) 37 kg

Rationale: "let a , b , c represent their respective weights . then , we have : a + b + c = ( 45 x 3 ) = 129 . . . . ( i ) a + b = ( 40 x 2 ) = 80 . . . . ( ii ) b + c = ( 43 x 2 ) = 86 . . . . ( iii ) adding ( ii ) and ( iii ) , we get : a + 2 b + c = 166 . . . . ( iv ) subtracting ( i ) from ( iv ) , we get : b = 37 . b ' s weight = 37 kg . e"
Answer: E
