Given:

The average weight of P, Q, and R is 55 kg.

The average weight of P and Q is 49 kg.

The average weight of Q and R is 50 kg.

Formula used:

Average = Total weight / Number of people

Calculation:

Total weight of P, Q, R = 55 × 3 = 165

Total weight of P, Q = 49 × 2 = 98

Total weight of Q, R = 50 × 2 = 100

Adding P, Q, and R:

⇒ P + Q + R = 165

From P + Q = 98, we get R = 165 - 98

⇒ R = 67

From Q + R = 100, we get Q = 100 - R

⇒ Q = 100 - 67

⇒ Q = 33

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
