      Question

      The average age of (x + 2) members in a committee is 22

      years. When a 44-year-old chairman joins, the average age rises to 23 years. Find x% of 500.
      A 95 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 90 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 85 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Total age = 22(x + 2)
      According to question,
      [22(x + 2) + 44] = 23(x + 2 + 1)
      22x + 44 + 44 = 23x + 69
      23x - 22x = 88 - 69
      x = 19
      So, 19% of 500 = 95
