    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :


    Let Arun's weight by X kg.
    According to Varun: 65 <<X < 72
    According to Varun's father: 60 < X < 70.
    According to Varun's sister: X <= 68
    The different possible weights of Varun or the values that satisfy all the above conditions are 66, 67 and 68.
    So, the Average of different possible weights of Varun = (66+67+68) / 3
    = 201/3
    = 67 kg.
