The average age of 20 students is 18 years. A group of 5 new students joins, increasing the average to 20 years. Find the average age of the 5 new students.

  1. 30

  2. 32

  3. 28

  4. 34

Answer: C

Solution

Original total age = 20 × 18 = 360 years. New total age = 25 × 20 = 500 years. Total age of the 5 new students = 500 − 360 = 140 years. Average = 140 ÷ 5 = 28 years.
