Given:

The average weight of 20 persons is 60 kg and that of the remaining 10 persons is 55 kg.

Formula used:

Average weight of all persons = (Total weight of all persons) / (Total number of persons)

Calculation:

Total weight of 20 persons = 20 × 60 = 1200 kg

Total weight of 10 persons = 10 × 55 = 550 kg

Total weight of all persons = 1200 + 550 = 1750 kg

Total number of persons = 20 + 10 = 30

⇒ Average weight of all persons = 1750 / 30 = 58.33 kg

∴ The correct answer is option 1.
