Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. The average weight of A, B, and C is 45 mg. This means the total weight of A, B, and C is 45 mg * 3 = 135 mg.

  2. The average weight of A and B is 40 mg. This means the total weight of A and B is 40 mg * 2 = 80 mg.

  3. The average weight of B and C is 43 mg. This means the total weight of B and C is 43 mg * 2 = 86 mg.

  4. If we add the total weights of A and B and B and C, we get 80 mg + 86 mg = 166 mg. This is more than the total weight of A, B, and C, which is 135 mg. The difference is the weight of B, because B has been counted twice.

  5. So, the weight of B is 166 mg - 135 mg = 31 mg.

So, the correct answer is 31 mg.
