-
- ans =49
average age = (45*4 +16 +49)5
=49 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(27) No(0)
- it is given before 4 years,so present age after 4 years of 4 men is 4*4=16,
4 years before sum of their age is 45*4,so, ans is (45*4+16+49)/5=49 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- x-4=45
thus, x=45+4=49
Thus the average age of 4 person now=49
present age of the 5th man=49
thus, average of the total 5 men= (49+49)/2=49 years - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)

- going 4 years back when the average was 45 of four persons. this implies at that time the combined age was 180. now adding 16 years we get the current sum of ages to be 196 and adding 49 of 5th person it becomes 245. hence average now must be 245 divided in 5 which is 49

- 49..(45*4+16+49)/5
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 4 yrs ago their avg was 45 yrs.
Four years hence(i.e now) their avg age=45+4 yrs
One person whose age is 49 yrs joins them
Hence avg=49 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- 49
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans=49, present tot age=45*4+16=196 so new avg=196+49=245/5=49
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (45*4+4*16+49)/5=58.6
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- ans 49
let sum of ages of 4 men 4 years ago be x
x/4=45
x=45*4=180
so present sum of ages=180+(4*4)=196
now,adding age of man=196+49=245
so,avg =245/5=49 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
