Practicing Success
In a group of 150 people, $\frac{2}{5}$ are men , $\frac{1}{3}$ are women and the rest are children. The average of the women is $\frac{4}{5}$ of the average age of the men. The average age of the children is $\frac{1}{5}$ of the average age of the men. If the average age of the men is 50 years, then the average age of all the people in the group is: |
32 years 36 years 35 years 28 years |
36 years |
Number of man = \(\frac{2}{5}\) × 150 = 60 Number of Women = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × 150 = 50 Number of children = 150 - 60 - 50 = 40 Ratio of average age of women to men = 4 : 5 Ratio of average age of children to men = 1 : 5 Now , Women : Men : Children = 4 : 5 : 1 ATQ , Average age of men = 50 5R = 50 SO , Average age of women = 40 & average age of children = 10 Sum of age of 60 men = 60 × 50 = 3000 Sum of age of women = 50 × 40 = 2000 Sum of age of children = 10 × 40 = 400 Average of all = \(\frac{3000 + 2000 + 400}{5}\) = \(\frac{5400}{150}\) = 36
