The average age of a class of 32 students is 16 yrs. if the teacher's age is also included, the average increases by one year. Find the age of the teacher
Options:
(A) 49 Years
(B) 51 Years
(C) 53 Years
(D) 54 Years
(E) 55 Years Think first, then make a decision. Some random thoughts:
Total age of students is 32X16 = 512 Years
Total age inclusive of teacher = 33X (16+1) = 561
So, Teacher's age is 561-512 = 49 Yrs
There is a shortcut for these type of problems
Teacher's age is 16+(33X1) = 49 Years So the answer is (A).
