Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 96 kg

Given:

The average weight of 50 students = 45 kg

Weight of teacher is included then average becomes = 46 kg

Concept used:

Average = (Sum of observations)/(Number of observations)

Calculation:

Total weight of the students = 50 × 45 = 2250

Weight of teacher is included then average becomes = 46 kg

Total weight of the whole class with teacher = 51 × 46 = 2346

The weight of the teacher = 2346 – 2250 = 96 kg

∴ The weight of the teacher is 96 kg.
