Solution(By Examveda Team)

Required average
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{\left( {15 \times 80} \right) - \left[ {\left( {16 \times 15} \right) + \left( {14 \times 25} \right)} \right]}}{{80 - \left( {15 + 25} \right)}} \cr & = \frac{{1200 - \left( {240 + 350} \right)}}{{40}} \cr & = \frac{{610}}{{40}} \cr & = 15.25 \cr} $$
