Correct Answer: 38.33
Solution : In a class of 60 students, 20 are girls. Number of boys = 60 – 20 = 40 The average weight of the boys in the class is 40 kg. Total weight of the boys in the class = 40 × 40 = 1600 The average weight of all the girls is 35 kg. Total weight of all the girls = 35 × 20 = 700 $\therefore$ Average weight of the entire class = $\frac{700 + 1600}{60} = 38.33$ kg Hence, the correct answer is 38.33 kg.
