Average weight of 25 candles = 40 grams => Total weight of 25 candles = $$40 imes25=1000$$ grams Let $$n$$ candles of 50 grams of weight were removed, then => $$frac{1000-50n}{25-n}=37.5$$ => $$1000-50n=937.5-37.5n$$ => $$50n-37.5n=1000-937.5$$ => $$12.5n=62.5$$
=> $$n=frac{62.5}{12.5}=5$$ => Ans - (B)
