    20 years. 5 more students join the class, reducing the average to 18 years. Find the average age of the new students.
    A 6 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 7 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 8 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 9 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Initial sum = 25 × 20 = 500 years
    New average = 18 years
    New strength = 30
    New total = 30 × 18 = 540 years
    Age of new = 540 - 500 = 40 years
    Average = 40 ÷ 5 = 8 years
