Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(35\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{{{x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{25}}}}{{25}} = \bar x = 40\) \( \Rightarrow {x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{25}} = 1000\) Let \(A\) be the age of new teacher. \(\therefore {x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_{25}} - 60 + A = 39 \times 25\) \( \Rightarrow 1000 - 60 + A = 975\)…
