  • B 15
  • C 24
  • D 25
Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation


The total age of 39 students is 39 students * 15 years/student = 585 years.

The average age of 40 people (including the teacher) is 15 years 3 months = 61/4 years.

The total age of 40 people is 61/4 years/person * 40 people = 610 years.

The age of the teacher is the total age of 40 people - the total age of 39 students = 610 years - 585 years = 25 years
