Q. A group of friends has an average age of 25 years. If one friend leaves and the average age becomes 26, how many friends were there originally?

A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8

Solution

Let the number of friends be x. Then, (25x - age of friend) / (x - 1) = 26. Solving gives x = 6.

Correct Answer: B — 6

Q. A group of friends has an average age of 25 years. If one friend leaves the group, the average age becomes 26 years. How old was the friend who left?

A. 24
B. 25
C. 26
D. 27

Solution

Let the number of friends be n. Total age = 25n. New total age = 26(n - 1). Therefore, 25n - 26(n - 1) = age of friend who left. Solving gives age = 27.

Correct Answer: D — 27

Q. A group of friends has an average age of 30 years. If a new friend aged 40 joins, what will be the new average age if there were originally 5 friends?

A. 31
B. 32
C. 33
D. 34

Solution

Total age = 5 * 30 = 150. New total = 150 + 40 = 190. New average = 190 / 6 = 31.67.

Correct Answer: B — 32

Q. A group of friends has an average age of 30 years. If one friend leaves who is 40 years old, what will be the new average age if the group has 5 members?
