Answer Key / Explanation : (b) -

I. Total weight of 46 children= kg 

= 1141 kg,

Weight excluded is not exact, so, average of remaining class cannot be obtained.

II. Total weight of 45 children = kg.

Average weight of 45 children =  = 23 kg.

So, II alone gives the answer while I alone does not.
