Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
According to the question,Average age of nine students and teacher = 16 years
Then, the total average age of students and teacher = 16 × 10 = 160
And, average age of first 4 students = 19 × 4 = 76
Average age of last 5 students = 10 × 5 = 50
∴ Teacher's age = 160 - 76 - 50 = 34 years
