Correct Answer: 49.9 kg


Solution : The total weight of 50 students, average weighing 45 kg = 50 × 45 = 2250 kg
The sum of the weight of 49 students, average weighing 44.9 kg = 49 × 44.9 = 2200.1 kg
Thus, the weight of the student who left the class = 2250 – 2200.1 = 49.9 kg
Hence, the correct answer is 49.9 kg.
