Question : 1

In a family, the average age of a father and a mother is 35 years. The average age of the father, mother and their only son is 27 years. What is the age of the son ?

a) 11 years

b) 12 years

c) 10 years

d) 10.5 years

Answer: (a)

Father + mother = 2 × 35 = 70 years

Father + mother + son = 27 × 3 = 81 years

∴ Son’s age = 81 – 70 = 11 years

Question : 2

The average age of 8 men is increased by 2 years when two of them whose age are 21 and 23 years replaced by two new men. The average age of the two new men is

a) 24 years

b) 22 years

c) 30 years

d) 28 years

Answer: (c)

Overall increase in the total age = 8 × 2 = 16 years

∴ Total age of two new men = 21 + 23 + 16 = 60 years

∴ Average age of new men = $60/2$ = 30 years

Aliter : Using Rule 23,

( If in a group, one member is replaced by a new member, then,

Age of new member = ( age of replaced member) ± xn

where, x = increase (+) or decrease (–) in average n = Number of members. )

Here, x = 2, n = 8

Age of new person = Age of replaced person + x

= 24 + 2 × 8

= 24 + 16 = 40 years

a) 29 years

b) 30 years

c) 24 years

d) 25 years

Answer: (b)

Sum of the present age of family members = 33 × 5 = 165 years 9 years ago,

Sum of their age = 165 – 9 × 5 = 120 years

∴ Required average age = $120/4$ = 30 years

Question : 4

The average age of a husband and his wife was 23 years at the beginning of their marriage. After five years they have a one-year old child. The average age of the family of three, when the child was born, was

a) 24 years

b) 23 years

c) 20 years

d) 18 years

Answer: (d)

After five years of marriage,

Husband + wife + child

= 46 + 10 + 1 = 57 years

At the time of birth of child,

Husband + wife + child = 57 – 3 = 54 years

∴ Required average age = $54/3$ = 18 years

Question : 5

The average age of A and B is 20 years. If A is to be replaced by C, the average would be 19 years. The average age of C and A is 21 years. The ages of A, B and C in order (in years) are

a) 18, 20, 22

b) 18, 22, 20

c) 22, 20, 18

d) 22, 18, 20

Answer: (d)

A + B = 2 × 20 = 40

C + B = 2 × 19 = 38

C + A = 2 × 21 = 42

On adding all three,

2 (A + B + C) = 40 + 38 + 42 = 120

⇒ A + B + C = 60

∴ A = (A + B + C) – (B + C)

= 60 – 38 = 22 years

B = (A + B + C) – (A + C)

= 60 – 42 = 18 years

C = (A + B + C) – (A + B)

= 60 – 40 = 20 years

Question : 6

a) 39 years

b) 38 years

c) 41 years

d) 40 years

Answer: (a)

The age of the teacher

= (24 + 1) × 15 – 24 × (15 – 1)

= 25 × 15 – 24 × 14

= 375 – 336 = 39 years.
