In a committee there are 25 members. If two members whose ages are 64 years and 40 years are replaced by the two new members, then average age of 25 members is decreased by 2 years. What is the average age (in years) of the new members? Correct Answer 27
Let the average age of 25 members be = x
Sum of ages of new members = Y
Sum of 25 members Age = 25x
Age of replaced two member = 64 + 40 = 104
According to the question
⇒ 25x - 104 + Y = (x - 2) 25
⇒ 25x - 104 + Y + 25x - 50
⇒ Y = 54
So, Average of new members = 54/2
= 27
