Correct Answer: 47 kg
Solution : Given: There are 15 students in a class. Their average weight is 40 kg. Before one student left, the combined weight of the class was: 15 × 40 = 600 kg After one student left the class, the remaining student's combined weight = 14 × 39.5 = 553 kg The weight of the student who left the class = 600 – 553 = 47 kg Hence, the correct answer is 47 kg.
