By formula,

Mean = Sum of weight of studentsNo.of students\dfrac{\text{Sum of weight of students}}{\text{No.of students}}

Given,

Mean weight of 60 students of a class = 52.75 kg

52.75=Sum of weight of students60\therefore 52.75 = \dfrac{\text{Sum of weight of students}}{60}

Total weight = 60 × 52.75

= 3165 kg.

Mean weight of 25 students among them = 51 kg.

So, the total weight of 25 students = 51 × 25 = 1275 kg.

Remaining students = 60 – 25 = 35

Total weight of remaining 35 students = 3165 – 1275 = 1890 kg

Mean weight of 35 students = 189035\dfrac{1890}{35} = 54 kg.

Hence, the mean weight of the remaining students is 54 kg.
