The average weight of 21 boys was recorded as 64 kg. If the weight of the teacher was added, the average increased by 1 kg. What was the teacher's weight?
[IBPS (PO), 2015]
Explanation
Here we can use the formula
According to the question,
Sum of weight of 21 boys (A=64, N=21)
⇒S=64 X 21 =1344
Later, weight of the teacher added, the average increased by 1 kg. (so A=65, N=22)
So, sum of weight of 22
⇒S=65 X 22 =1430
Now,
Weight of the teacher =(sum of wieght of 21 boys)-(Sum of weight of 22 )
=1430-1344
= 86 kg.
Hence, Option A is correct.
