Correct Answer: 54.5 kg
Solution :
Total weight of students initially $= 30 \times 45 = 1350$ kg
Total weight after the student left $= 1350-48.5 = 1301.5$ kg
Let the weight of the new student be $x$.
According to the problem,
$\frac{1301.5+x}{30} = 45+\frac{200}{1000}$
$⇒\frac{1301.5+x}{30} = 45+0.2$
$⇒1301.5+x = 45.2\times 30$
$⇒1301.5+x= 1356$
$\therefore x = 1356-1301.5 = 54.5$ kg
Hence, the correct answer is 54.5 kg.
