Question:

The average age of 29 students in a class is 26 years. If the age of the teacher is also included, the average age of the class becomes 26.4 years. Find the age of the teacher?

Options:

36 years

38 years

42 years

32 years

Correct Answer:

38 years

Explanation:

Total age of 29 students = 29 × 26 = 754 years

Total age of 29 students + 1 teacher = 30 × 26.4 = 792 years

Age of teacher = 792 - 754 = 38 years
