The average age of 30 students is 9 years .If the age of their teacher is included ,it becomes 10 years . The age of the teacher (in years ) is :
A) 27 B) 31 C) 35 D) 40
Read Solution (Total 10)
-
- 31*10-30*9=40
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(10) No(1)
- average of a new person= previous average+(increase in average *number of persons including new person)
age= 9 +(1*31)
age=40 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- let x be the sum of students and
x/30=9
x=270
let y be the age of teacher
(270+y)/31=10
y=310-270=40 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- D) 40
solution: let total of 30's student age is x so average is 9 of 30 student so 9*30=270
now with their teacher total of age is now x+teacher= 10*31= 310
now if we want teacher age then 310 (total of 30 student's age) - 270 = 40 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- suppose teacher age x.
30*9+1*x=31*10
x=40 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- when the age of teacher is included then the average age of each students is increased by 1year
so total increase is 30*1=30
hence age of teacher's=30+10=40 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- option:D
the total age of 30 stu=30*9=270
the total age of 30 stu & a teacher=31*10=310
the age of teacher in years=310-270=40 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Ans is option D
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 30x9=270
31x10=310
310-270=40 - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 310-270=40
- 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
