Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 115

Given:

The average weight of 25 students = 37

Weight of the teacher included then weight increases by = 3 kg

Calculations:

Total weight of 25 students = 25 × 37

⇒ 925

Given that when the weight of the teacher is also included, the average weight increases by 3 kg

Total weight along with the teacher = 40 × 26

⇒ 1040 kg

Now, the weight of the teacher = 1040 - 925

⇒ 115 kg

∴ The weight of the teacher is 115.
