Sum of the weight of 36 students = 36 * 50 = 1800 kg.
37 misread as 73 must have inflated the sum by a value of 73 -37 = 36kg
Hence the corrected sum = 1800 -36 = 1764 kg
The corrected average = 1764 / 36 = 49 kg
(option a)

Sum of the ages of 36 students = 50*36 = 1800
Now let's reduce the wrong weight and add the correct weight
=> 1800-73+37 = 1764
New average age = 1764/36 = 49
OA should be A
