4 years ago, the average age of 4 members of a family was 35. Now, the youngest son marries a woman, the age of the woman is two less than the average of family 4 years ago. What is the new average age of all family members? Correct Answer 189/5
Given:
Average of age 4 members of a family before four years was 35
The age of women is two less than the average age of the family at that time.
Concept:
Average = Sum of all values/Number of value
Calculation:
Age of woman = Average age of family four years ago – 2
⇒ 35 – 2 = 33
Sum of present age of all 4 family member = (Average age of family four year ago × 4) + (4 × 4)
⇒ 35 × 4 + 16 = 156
The new average age of family = Total sum of age/Total family members
⇒ (156 + 33)/5 = 189/5
∴ The new average age of the family is 189/5.
