Correct Answer: 162


Solution : Average height of 30 boys = 160 cm
The average height of the remaining 20 boys = 165 cm
We have to find out the average height of the whole class which is
= $\frac{30\times 160 + 20\times 165}{50}$
= $\frac{4800 + 3300}{50}$
= $\frac{8100}{50}$ = 162 cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 162 cm.
