Correct Answer: 112.1 cm


Solution : Convert the heights into centimetres (cm)
6 boys of 1 m 15 cm i.e. 115 cm
8 boys of 1 m 10 cm i.e. 110 cm
The remaining 20 – (6 + 8) = 6 boys are of 1 m 12 cm i.e. 112 cm
Now average=
$\frac{(6 × 115) + (8 × 110) + (6×112)}{20}$
= $\frac{(690 + 880 + 672)}{20}$
= $\frac{2242}{20}$
= 112.1 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 112.1 cm.
