a) 14 years

b) 13$1/2$ years

c) 13 years

d) 12$1/2$ years

Answer: (b)

Required average = ${5 × 12 + 3 × 16}/{5+3}$ =${60+48}/8$

Five years ago, the average age of P, Q and R was 25 years and seven years ago, the average age of Q and R was 20 years. The present age of P is

a) 29 years

b) 36 years

c) 21 years

d) 24 years

Answer: (b)

Sum of the present age of P, Q and R

= (25 × 3 + 3 × 5) years

= (75 + 15) years = 90 years

Sum of the present age of Q and R

= (20 × 2 + 2 × 7) years = 54 years

∴ p’s present age = (90 – 54) years = 36 years

Question : 3

The average age of 40 students of a class is 15 years. When 10 new students are admitted, the average is increased by 0.2 year. The average age of the new students is :

b) 15.2 years

c) 16.4 years

d) 16.2 years

Answer: (a)

Total age of 40 old students = 40 × 15 = 600 years.

Total age of 40 old and 10 new students = 50 × 15.2 = 760 years

∴ Total age of 10 new students = 760–600 = 160 years.

∴ Required average age = $160/10$ = 16 years.

b) 396

c) 416

d) 408

Answer: (b)

Let the number of students be n. Then,

7 = ${n × 6 + 12 × 40}/{n + 12}$

⇒ n = 480 – 84 = 396

∴ present age of the child

= 63 – 62 = 1 year
