      Question

      The average age of a group of 5 men is 30 years. If one

      man aged 35 leaves and a new person joins the group, raising the average age by 1 year, find the age of the new person.
      A 40 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 42 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 44 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 38 years Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Sum of ages of 5 men = 5 Γ— 30 = 150 years. After one man leaves, the sum of ages becomes 150 - 35 = 115 years. New average = 31 years, so the new total sum = 31 Γ— 5 = 155 years. Age of new person = 155 - 115 = 40 years. Answer: a) 40 years
