There are two sections A and B of a class, consisting of 36 and 44 students respectively. If the average weight of section A is 40kg and that of section B is 35kg, find the average weight of the whole class.

A. 30 kg.

B. 35 kg.

C. 42.5 kg.

D. 37.25 kg.

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Total weight of (36 + 44) Students,
= (36 × 40 + 44 × 35) kg
= 2980 kg
Therefore average weight of the whole class,
= $$ {\frac{{2980}}{{80}}} $$  kg.
Therefore average weight = 37.25 kg.
