The average age of 14 girls and their teacher's age is 15 yr. If teacher's age is excluded, then the average reduced by 1. What is the teacher's age?
[IBPS (PO), 2012]
Explanation
Here we can use the formula
According to the question,
Sum of 15 members age (A=15, N=15)
⇒S=15 X 15 =225
Later, the teachers age is excluded, the average reduced by 1 yr. (so A=14, N=14)
So, sum of 14 girls age
⇒S=14 X 14 =196
Now,
The Teacher's age =(sum of 15 members age)-(Sum of 14 girls age)
=225-196
=29 yr.
Hence, Option A is correct.
