The average age of a class of 39 students is 15 years . If the age of the teacher be included, then the average increases by 3 months. Find the age of he teacher..
Sol. Total age of 39 persons = (39 x 15) years = 585 years.
Average age of 40 persons = 15 years 3 months = ` 61/4 ` years.
Total age of 40 persons = `(61/4 xx 40)` years = 610 years.
`:.` Age of the teacher = (610 - 585) years = 25 years.
