      Question

      The average age of a group of 8 friends is 30 years. If

      one of them leaves, the average becomes 29. Find the age of the friend who left.
      A 35 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 36 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 37 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 38 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the age of the person who left be ‘x’ years. So, x + (30 – 1) × 7 = 8 × 30 x + 29 × 7 = 240 x + 203 = 240 x = 240 – 203 x = 37 years So, age of the person who left was 37 years.
