Explanation

Average weight of 10 persons decreases by 2.3 kg when a new person replaces someone weighing 69 kg. Total weight decrease = 10 × 2.3 = 23 kg. This means the new person weighs 23 kg less than the person they replaced. New person's weight = 69 - 23 = 46 kg. However, 46 kg is not among the given options (92, 45, 72, 68). Option E 'None of these' is the correct choice. The claimed answer E is correct.
