Question : 11 [SSCCHSL 2011]

The average age of 45 persons is decreased by $1/9$ year when one of them of 60 years is replaced by a new comer. Then the age of the new comer is :

a) 55 years

b) 45 years

c) 49 years

d) 59 years

Answer: (a)

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

Age of the new person

= 60 – 45 × $1/9$ = 55 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. )

Age of new corner = Age of replaced member – xn

= 60 – 45 × $1/9$

= 60 – 5 = 55 years

a) 15 years

b) 12 years

c) 13 years

d) 14 years

Answer: (d)

Total age increase = 2 × 24 = 48 months = 4 years

a) 19 years 6 months

b) 19 years

c) 20 years 6 months

Answer: (a)

Total age of 20 new students

= (60 × 18.5 – 40 × 18) years

∴ Their average age = $390/20$ = 19.5 years

= 19 years 6 months

a) 11 years

b) 25 years

c) 15 years

d) 13 years

Answer: (c)

Age of new boy = 18 years – total decrease

= (18 – 0.1 × 30) years = 15 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 = 17 – 16.9 = 0.1, n = 30

Age of new boy

= Age of replaced boy–xn

= 18 – 0.1 × 30

= 18 – 3 = 15 years
