The average of the ages of 4 workers is 23. Even if the age of the 5th worker is added, the average remains 23. What is the age of the 5th worker?
[Andhra Bank, 2009]
Explanation
Here we can use the formula
According to the question,
Sum of 4 workers age (A=23, N=4)
⇒S=23 X 4 =92
Later, the age of 5th worker is added, the average remains 23. ( so A=23, N=5)
So, sum of 5 workers age
⇒S=23 X 5 =115
Now,
The age of 5th worker =(sum of 7 observations)-(Sum of 6 observations)
=115-92
=23 yr.
Hence, Option C is correct.
