    Given that , The average age of 40 students of a class = 18 years. On admitting 20 new students to the same class, the average age of the students of the class increased by = 6 months
    Total age of 20 new students = (60 × 18.5 – 40 × 18) years
    Total age of 20 new students = (1110 – 720) years = 390 years

    Correct Option: B

    Given that , The average age of 40 students of a class = 18 years. On admitting 20 new students to the same class, the average age of the students of the class increased by = 6 months
    Total age of 20 new students = (60 × 18.5 – 40 × 18) years
    Total age of 20 new students = (1110 – 720) years = 390 years
    ∴ Their average age = 390 ÷ 20 = 19.5 years
    Hence , Their average age = 19 years 6 months

    Here , The present average age of a family of four members = 36 years.
    Sum of the present ages of whole family = 36 × 4 = 144 years
    If the present age of the youngest member of the family = 12 years
    Sum of the ages of the family at the birth of youngest member = 144 – 4 × 12 = 96 years

    Correct Option: C

    Here , The present average age of a family of four members = 36 years.
    Sum of the present ages of whole family = 36 × 4 = 144 years
    If the present age of the youngest member of the family = 12 years
    Sum of the ages of the family at the birth of youngest member = 144 – 4 × 12 = 96 years

    ∴ Required Average age = 96 = 32 years

    Here , Total age of 40 old students = 40 × 15 = 600 years.
    Total age of 40 old and 10 new students = 50 × 15.2 = 760 years
    ∴ Total age of 10 new students = 760 – 600 = 160 years.

    Correct Option: B

    Here , Total age of 40 old students = 40 × 15 = 600 years.
    Total age of 40 old and 10 new students = 50 × 15.2 = 760 years
    ∴ Total age of 10 new students = 760 – 600 = 160 years.
    ∴ Required average age = 160 ÷ 10
    Required average age = 16 years.
