The average of 13 members of a family is 48 if two new members of the family join them then the average age decreases by 10% which is equal to 11.11% of the total age of 5 members of the family including the new members of the family then find the average age of remaining 10 members of the family.
The average of 13 members of a family is 48 if two new members of the family join them then the average age decreases by 10% which is equal to 11.11% of the total age of 5 members of the family including the new members of the family then find the average age of remaining 10 members of the family. Correct Answer 60.48
Given:
Total member of the family initially = 13
New members of family = 2
The initial average age of the family = 48
Concept Used:
Average = (Total sum of result)/(Total number of result)
11.11% = 1/9
Calculation:
Total age of family member initially = 13 × 48 = 624
When new members join the family then the average age of the family is = 48 × (90/100)
= 43.2
Total age of family members after joining the new members = 43.2 × 15 = 648
Total age of five members of the family is = (48 – 43.2)/11.11% = 43.2
The total age of the remaining 10 members of the family is = 648 – 43.2 = 604.8
Then the average age of the remaining 10 members of the family = 604.8/10 = 60.48
∴ The required average age of the remaining 10 family members is 60.48.
