Correct Answer: 38 years


Solution : The average age of 29 students = 26 years
Sum of the ages of 29 students = 26 × 29 = 754
The average age of 29 students and a teacher = 26.4 years
Sum of the ages of 29 students and 1 teacher = 26.4 × 30 = 792
The age of the teacher = 792 – 754 = 38
Hence, the correct answer is 38 years.
