- 15yr
- 15yr 6 months
- 15 yr 4 months
- 15 year 2 months
Correct Option: A
Average of 5 boys = 16 yr
sum of age of 5 boys = 16 x 5 = 80 yr
∴ Average age of 4 boys = 16 - yr 3 month
= 16 yr + 3/12 yr = 16 yr + 1/4 yr
Sum of ages of 4 boys = 4 x (16 +1/4) yr
= 64 +1 = 65 yr
∴ Age of 5th boy = (80 - 65) yr = 15 yr
