Question:

In a class average age of 15 boys is 11. If 5 boys each of age 9 years are added, what would be the new average?

Options:

10.5 years

10 Years

20 Years

23 Years

Correct Answer:

10.5 years

Explanation:

Total age of boys in a class = 15 x 11 = 165

Total age after adding 5 new boys = 165 + 9 x 5 = 210

New average = \(\frac{210 }{ \text{15 + 5}}\)

New average = \(\frac{210 }{ 20}\)

New average = 10.5
