The average age of 8 men is increased by 2 years.while two of them were 20 and 24 replaced by two women..what is the avg age of two women?

• 30
  
  Let the average age of 8 men be x
  
  sum of their age = 8x
  
  Let sum of age of 2 women be 'b'
  (8x + b -44)/8 = x+2
  8x+b-44 = 8x+16
  b = 16+44
  =60
  
  average age of women = 60/2 = 30

• let sum of ages of 8 men was x
  hence average age of 8 men x/8
  now 2 men excluded i.e. sum of ages x-(20+24)= x-44
  let sum of ages of 2 women included is y
  hence total age of 6 men and 2 women is x+y-44
  thus, average becomes (x+y-44)/8
  according to problem,
  (x+y-44)/8 = (x/8)+2
  i.e. y=60
  hence average age of women is y/2
  i.e. 30 yrs

• let initial average age be x
  24 years
  since now 6*x+20+24/8 = x
  hence x = 22
  now age is increased by 2 hence total increament of 16 years in 8 people but 2 has to be replaced so new avg would be 24

• ((20+24)+(8*2))/2
  gives u 30...
