It's 40 per side at the most. 25, 10 and a 5. 125 at most, and the way she failed it tells me she had no business even attempting that weight.
This is the correct reply.

25lbs
I would agree if 'A' were merely ~ double the thickness of 'B' and not the significant increase in circumference.
A lot of the 25 lbs plates I've seen are mostly the same thickness as a 10, they just have a wider rim for ease of handling in addition to the larger diameter. If anything, I would say the smaller weights are lighter, 5 and 2.5lbs, as opposed to the bigger plate being heavier like a 45.
Also, I've known women who could bench 165+ weights. They considered themselves powerlifters and took their training pretty seriously. They were also on the "thicker" side, as opposed to a skinny, skanky roastie.
