SSC GD Constable (English) - 11 Feb 2019 Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q69

The average weight of a group of 24 students increases by 2 kg when the weight of teacher is also included. If the initial average weight of the group of 24 students was 30 kg, then what is the weight of teacher?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 80 kg

Average = Sum of weight of all members/Total members

Sum of weight of 24 students = 24 × 30 = 720

If weight of teacher is included then Average becomes 32

Sum of weight of 24 students + Weight of Teacher = 32 × 25 = 800 

Weight of Teacher = 800 - 720 = 80 Kg
