Options:

12  years

11 years

13 years

10 years

Correct Answer:

12  years

Explanation:

Average age of 30 students in a class = 12 years

5 students = 10 years

Another 5 students = 14 years

remaining student= 30 - 5 - 5 = 20

let's assume average age of 20 student = X

Total age of all student = average age x total no of student

30 x 12 5 x 10 5 x 14 20 x X

360 50 70 20X

360 120 20X

240 20X

X = 12years
