It takes about 300 balloons to lift 200 pound man

balloon filled with exactly 1 sq ft of helium yields about 28.2g (upward thrust)

453.6 grams/Lb

453.6(1Lb) /28.2= about 16 blns

So to get one pound off of the ground it would take about 16 balloons

16x200= 3200

it would take 3200 balloons to lift a 200 lb person....Only hoover not continually rise on account of the uneven weight distribution and the temp differences in each balloon helium isn't as buoyant when cold, unless the temp is consistant. Wind is a factor; as well as the amount of static charge in the air

One balloon could do it, if it's big enough and inflated with the right stuff.

Why it is easy to pick up 45-55kg girl but hard to pick up 14kg gas cylinder?

When you pick up a person, that person is helping you pick them up. The gas cylinder can't help you. . Try this with a person, anyone who will cooperate and is a reasonable weight that you can lift. First lift them normally as you would any person. Then ask the person to lie limp as if dead, and try to pick up that same person from the same position. You will see the difference, how the person helped you the first time.
