The average age of 5 persons named P, Q, R, S and T is 80 yrs. The average age of P and Q is 70 yrs. and average age of R and S is 84 yrs. Then, what is the age of T? Correct Answer 92 years
Given:
Average age of P, Q, R, S and T = 80yrs.
Average age of P and Q = 70yrs.
Average age of R and S = 84 yrs.
Calculation:
Average age of P, Q, R, S and T = 80yrs
Sum of the age of P + Q + R + S + T = 80 × 5 = 400 yrs.
Sum of the age of P + Q = 70 × 2 = 140 yrs.
Sum of the age of R + S = 84 × 2 = 168 yrs.
Now, age of T = (P + Q + R + S + T) –
⇒ Age of T = 400 – (140 + 168)
⇒ Age of T = 92yrs
∴ Age of T is 92 years
