    4 large and 8 small weigh 113kg

    so

    2 large and 4 small weigh 56.5 kg

    but

    2 large and 3 small weigh 50 kg

    so taking the difference

    1 small weighs 56.5 - 50 = 6.5 kg.

    Substitute:

    2 large and 3 small weight 50 kg

    2 large weigh 50 - 3*6.5 = 50 - 19.5 = 30.5 kg

    1 large weighs 15.25 kg
