      Question

      A college group of 50 students has an average age of 23

      years. 10 new students are added and the average age decreases to 21. What is the average age of the new students?
      A 9 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 10 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 11 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 12 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Initial sum = 50 × 23 = 1150 years
      New total = 60
      New average = 21
      New total sum = 60 × 21 = 1260 years
      Sum of new = 1260 - 1150 = 110 years
      Average = 110 ÷ 10 = 11 years
