Question : 1

In a school with 600 students, the average age of the boys is 12 years and that of the girls is 11 years. If the average age of the school is 11 years and 9 months, then the number of girls in the school is

a) 150

b) 450

c) 350

d) 250

Answer: (a)

Number of girls = x

Number of boys = 600 – x

∴ (600 – x ) × 12 + 11x

= 11$3/4$×600 = $47/4$ × 600

⇒ 7200 – 12x + 11x = 7050

⇒ x = 7200 – 7050 = 150

d) 59 years

Answer: (a)

Reduction in total age of 45 persons = 45 × $1/9$

( 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. )

Age of new corner = Age of replaced member – xn

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
