Question:

The average weight of a class of 40 students is 30 kg and the average weight of a class of 20 students is 15 kg. Find the average weight of both the classes combined.

Options:

25 kg

28 kg

20 kg

16 kg

Correct Answer:

25 kg

Explanation:

Total Weight = No. of students × Average

Class1 = 40 × 30 = 1200kg

Class2 = 20 × 15 = 300 kg

Average of both classes = \(\frac{Total\;weight}{Total\;no.}\) 

⇒ \(\frac{1500}{60}\) = 25 kg
