A55 kg
B60.5 kg
C57.5 kg
D60
Answer:
C. 57.5 kg
Read Explanation:
Total weight of 30 students = 30 × 42 = 1260 kg
Average weight of 30 students and teacher = (42 + 0.5) kg = 42.5 kg
total weight of 30 students and the teacher = (42.5 × 31) = 1317.5 kg
Weight of teacher = (1317.5 - 1260) kg = 57.5 kg
