    A.

    152

    B.

    153

    C.

    151

    D.

    149

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Total number of pupils initially: 50

    Average height of these pupils: 150 cm

    Five pupils leave, with an average height of 146 cm

    Five new pupils join, with an average height of 156 cm

    Formula Used:

    New Average Height=Total Initial Height−Total Height of Leaving Pupils +Total Height of Joining PupilsTotal Number of Pupils

    Solution:

    50×150 cm=7500 50×150 cm=7500 ​​

    5×146 cm=730 cm

    5×156 cm=780 cm

    7500 cm−730 cm+780 cm = 7550

    7550 cm50=151cm\frac{7550\,\text{cm}}{50} = 151 cm​​

    Therefore, the new average height of the pupils in the class is 151 cm.
