The mean weight of 34 students of a school is 42 kg. If the weight of the teacher is included, then the mean rises by 400 g. Find the weight (in kg) of the teacher?
[RRB, 2015]
Explanation
Here we can use the formula
According to the question,
Sum of weight of 34 students (A=42, N=34)
⇒S=42 X 34 =1428
Later, the weight of teacher included and the mean score rises by 400 g (so A=42.4, N=35)
So, sum of weight 35 students
⇒S=42.4 X 35 =1484
Now,
The weight of the teacher =(sum of weight 34 students)-(Sum of weight 35 students)
=1484-1428
=56 kg.
Hence, Option B is correct.
