Question

The average age of 35 students in a group is 15 years. When the teacher's age is included, the average age of the group increases by 1.25 years. What is the teacher's age (in years)?

A.

45

B.

60

C.

55

D.

50

Correct option is B

Given:
Average age of 35 students = 15 years.
When the teacher's age is included, the average age of the group increases by 1.25 years
Formula Used: ​
Total sum = Average × Number of terms
Solution: ​
Total age of 35 students = 35 × 15 = 525 years
New Average = 15+ 1.25 = 16.25 Years
Total age of whole class when teacher is also included = 36 × 16.25 = 585 years
Teacher's age = 585- 525 = 60 years
