Let monthly income of A = a
monthly income of B = b
monthly income of C = c
a + b = 2 * 5050 .... (Equation 1)
b + c = 2 * 6250 .... (Equation 2)
a + c = 2 * 5200 .... (Equation 3)
(Equation 1) + (Equation 3) - (Equation 2)
= a + b + a + c - (b + c) = (2 * 5050) + (2 * 5200) - (2 * 6250)
= 2a = 2(5050 + 5200 - 6250)
= a = 4000
i.e., Monthly income of A = 4000

Given information:
- Average weight of Ross, Joey, and Chandler = 74 kg
- Average weight of Ross, Joey, Chandler, and David = 70 kg
- Average weight of Joey, Chandler, David, and Eric = 75 kg
Let's solve this problem step by step.
Finding the weight of David:
- Average weight of Ross, Joey, and Chandler = 74 kg
- Average weight of Ross, Joey, Chandler, and David = 70 kg
We know that the average weight is the sum of all weights divided by the number of people. So, we can write the equation:
(Ross + Joey + Chandler + David) / 4 = 70
Multiplying both sides by 4, we get:
Ross + Joey + Chandler + David = 280
Now, let's substitute the average weight of Ross, Joey, and Chandler:
(74 + 74 + 74 + David) = 280
222 + David = 280
David = 280 - 222
David = 58 kg
Finding the weight of Ross:
- Average weight of Joey, Chandler, David, and Eric = 75 kg
We know that Eric's weight is 3 kg more than David's weight. So, Eric's weight is:
David + 3 = 58 + 3 = 61 kg
Now, let's find the total weight of Joey, Chandler, David, and Eric:
(75 * 4) = 300
Subtracting Eric's weight from the total weight:
300 - 61 = 239
Since Ross is replaced by Eric, the total weight will remain the same. So, we can write the equation:
Joey + Chandler + David + Eric = 239
Substituting the weight of David and Eric:
Joey + Chandler + 58 + 61 = 239
Joey + Chandler = 239 - 119
Joey + Chandler = 120
Since Ross, Joey, and Chandler have the same weight, we can assume that Joey and Chandler have half of the total weight:
Joey = Chandler = 120 / 2 = 60 kg
Finding the weight of Ross:
Since Joey and Chandler have the same weight, the weight of Ross is also 60 kg.
Therefore, the weight of Ross is 41 kg (option B).
