Question
Average age of 5 men is 30 years. A new man replaces one
whose age was 25 years, and the average becomes 31. Find the age of the new man.Solution
ATQ, Average age of 5 men = 30 years Total age of 5 men = 5 Γ 30 = 150 years One man of age 25 is replaced by a new man. New average = 31 years New total age = 5 Γ 31 = 155 years Let age of new man = x. Old total β age of man replaced + age of new man = new total 150 β 25 + x = 155 125 + x = 155 x = 155 β 125 = 30 Age of the new man = 30 years.
