A Correct answer
Explanation

Total students = 50. Boys = 40, Girls = 10. Total weight = 50 * 44 = 2200. Girls' weight = 10 * 40 = 400. Boys' weight = 2200 - 400 = 1800. Mean weight of boys = 1800 / 40 = 45.

AI explanation

The total weight of all 50 students is 50 * 44 = 2200 kg. Since there are 40 boys, there are 10 girls, and their total weight is 10 * 40 = 400 kg. The total weight of the boys is 2200 - 400 = 1800 kg. The mean weight of the boys is 1800 / 40 = 45 kg.
