Q1: The average age of 10 students in a class increases by 4.8 months when a boy of age 6 yrs is replaced by a new boy. What is the age of the new boy.
Read Solution (Total 4)
-
- 10 years
Total increase in age of 10 students= 10*4.8=48 months= 4 years
Age of a new boy should be 4 year more than the boy who is replaced.
age of the new boy=6+4= 10 years - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- if 6 age boy replaced so
new boy age is 6 yr + 4.8 * 10 months
which is 6 + 4 = 10yr
so ans is 10yr - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- let x/10=y
new boy age=a
x-6+a/10=y+4.8(months)
so
a-6/10=4.8mounths
a-6=48months
=>a-6=4years
a=6+4=>10years - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- sum/10 = avg
(sum-6years +new)/10 = avg+4.8m
replace avg with 1st equation
(sum-6years +new)/10=sum/10 + 4.8m
new -6years = 48months
new = 4y +6y
new=10 years - 6 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
