a) 55 years

b) 45 years

c) 49 years

d) 59 years

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

( 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 = 17 – 16.9 = 0.1, n = 30

Age of new boy
