The mean of the ages of ten secondary school pupils is 16 but when the age of their teacher is added to it the men becomes 19. Find the age of the teacher

Let the age of the teacher be T. According to the problem, the mean age of the 10 pupils is 16. Therefore, the sum of their ages is 10 x 16 = 160. When the teacher's age is added to it, the sum becomes 160 + T. Also, it is given that the new mean age after adding the teacher's age is 19. So, we have: (160 + T) / 11 = 19 Multiplying both sides by 11, we get: 160 + T = 209 Subtracting 160 from both sides, we get: T = 49 Therefore, the age of the teacher is 49.
