The average age of 14 students of a class is 17 years. If a new student of age 32 years joins the class, then what will be the average age of these 15 students?

A.

21 years

B.

22 years

C.

19 years

D.

18 years

Correct option is D

Given:
Average age of 14 students = 17 years
Age of new student = 32 years
Formula Used:
New Average = (Sum of ages of all students) / (Total number of students)
Solution:
Total age of 14 students = 14 * 17 = 238 years
After adding the new student, total age = 238 + 32 = 270 years
New average age = 270 / 15 = 18 years
