A. 55 kg

B. 57 kg

C. 66 kg

D. 56 kg

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

According to the question,
Total increase in weight including teacher
= 400 × 35
= 14000 gm
= 14 kg
If the teacher's weight has been '42' kg so there would have not been any change in average weight.
∴ Teacher's weight = 42 + 14 = 56 kg.
