Question

The average age of a group of 13 men is 55 years. 2 men leave the group and the average age of group increases by 1 year. What is the average age of 2 men who left the group?

A.

50.5 years

B.

48.5 years

C.

50 years

D.

49.5 years

Correct option is D

Given:

  • Total men = 13
  • Average age = 55 years
  • 2 men leave → new average becomes 56 years
  • Find the average age of the 2 men who left

Solution:

  1. Total age of 13 men = 13 × 55 = 715 years
  2. After 2 men leave, remaining 11 men's total age = 11 × 56 = 616 years
  3. Age of the 2 men who left = 715 − 616 = 99 years
  4. Average age of the 2 men = 99 / 2 = 49.5 years

Final Answer: (D) 49.5 years
