      The average age of (x + 6) students is 14 years. When a

      36-year-old principal joins, the average age increases by 1 year. Find x% of 500.
      A 75 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 85 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 60 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 70 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total age of students = 14(x + 6)
      According to question,
      [14(x + 6) + 36] = (15)(x + 6 + 1)
      14x + 84 + 36 = 15x + 105
      15x - 14x = 120 - 105
      x = 15
      So, 15% of 500 = 75
