Average age of 8 person in a committee is increased by 2 years when two men aged 35 years and 45 years are substituted by two women. What is the average age of these two women ?

• when two wommen were added average age of 8 member increased by 2 years i.e they added 2 years to each member age so total age added 2*8=16
  now two men who left teir total age are 35+45=80
  so age of women who replaced them must be 80+16=96
  so average age of joining women =96/2=48

• Average age of those two women = 48years
  
  Let the average age of 8 person = x
  So, the age of 8 person = 8x
  Then, after excluding two men = 8x-35-45
  
  Let age of two women = 2y
  8x-35-45 =8(x-2)-2y
  Simplifies, we get
  y = 48

• We can solve it directly by applying this equation
  let the combined ages of the two women= y
  let the age of the remaining 6 person =x
  so According to the Question
  (x+y)-(x+35+45)/8 = 2.
  Solving we will gey y=96.
  so average will be 96/2= 48 (Ans)

• Answer 48
  
  let x be average age of 8 persons, y be the average age of two women,then
  
  8x-80+2y=8x+16
  2y=96
  y=48
