Question : 1

a) 21 years

b) 22 years

c) 20 years

d) 21.5 years

Answer: (a)

Average age of the whole group

= ${3 × 20 + 4 × 21+3 × 22}/10$

= ${60 + 84 + 66}/10$ = $210/10$

= 21 years

Question : 2

Average age of 6 sons of a family is 8 years. Average age of sons together with their parents is 22 years. If the father is older than the mother by 8 years, the age of mother (in years) is :

a) 52

b) 44

c) 68

d) 60

Answer: (d)

Let the mother’s age = x years

∴ Father’s age = (x + 8) years

Sum of age of 6 sons = 8 × 6 = 48 years

Sum of age of 6 sons and parents = 22 × 8 = 176 years.

∴ Age of Parents = 176 – 48 = 128 years

⇒ x + x + 8 = 128

⇒ 2x = 120

⇒ x = 60

Hence, mother’s age = 60 years

b) 27.14 years

c) 11$1/9$ years

d) 14.28 years

Answer: (c)

Sum of the present age of 10 members

Required average = $100/9$ =11$1/9$ years

Question : 6

The average age of 30 boys in a class is 15 years. One boy, aged 20 years, left the class, but two new boys came in his place whose age differ by 5 years. If the average age of all the boys now in the class becomes 15 years, the age of the younger newcomer is :

a) 15 years

b) 20 years

c) 8 years

d) 10 years

Answer: (a)

Total age of 30 boys = 30 × 15 = 450 years

One boy, aged 20 years, left the class

Now, total age of 29 boys = 450 – 20 = 430 years

Again, two new boys join the class

Then, the total age of 31 boys = 15 × 31 = 465 years

∴ Age of two new boys = 465 – 430 = 35 years

Let the individual age of two boys be x and y years

∴ x + y = 35

x – y = 5 (According to the question)

∴ 2x = 40

x = $40/2$ = 20 years

∴ y = 15 years

∴ Age of the younger new comer = 15 years
