Answer: The weight of one person is 22 units and the other is 110 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = weight of one person, then the weight of the other person = 5x

According to the question,

Sum of weight of both persons = 132

⇒ x+ 5x = 132

⇒ 6x = 132

Divide both sides by 6 , we get

x= 22

Other [person's weight = 5(22) = 110 units.

Hence, the weight of one person is 22 units and the other is 110 units.
