Given:

In a class of 60 students, there are 35 boys.

The average weight of boys is 42 kg and the average weight of the full class is 46.5 kg.

Calculation:

The number of girls will be 60 - 35 = 25

The total weight of the boys is

⇒ 42 × 35 = 1470 kg

The total weight of the full class is

⇒ 60 × 46.5 = 2790 kg

The total weight of the girls is

⇒ 2790 - 1470 = 1320 kg

The average weight of girls in the class is

⇒ 1320 / 25 = 52.80 kg

∴ The correct option is 3
