Given:

Average age of 59 students = 22 years

Total number of individuals after including teacher = 60

New average age = 23 years

Formula used:

Total age = Average × Number of individuals

Age of teacher = Total age after including teacher - Total age of students

Calculations:

Total age of 59 students = 22 × 59

⇒ Total age of 59 students = 1298

Total age of 60 individuals = 23 × 60

⇒ Total age of 60 individuals = 1380

Age of teacher = 1380 - 1298

⇒ Age of teacher = 82

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
