The average age of 24 females decreases by 2 months when 3 femlaes of 12 yr, 13 yr and 14 yr are replaced by 3 males. Find out the average age of 3 males?
Explanation
According to the question
We use the formula,
Value of new observations= a - nb
[here, Average decreases, hence '-' sign (a-nb) has been taken.]
Here, n=24, a= 12+13+14=39 yr, b= 2 months= yr
Total age of 3 males = a-nb
= 39-24×
= 39-4= 35 yr
Average age of 3 males= yr
Hence, Option D is correct.
