i) Let the ages of the five members at present be a, b, c, d & e years. And the age of the new member be f years. ii) So the new average of five members' age = (a + b + c + d + f)/5 ------- (1) iii) Their corresponding ages 3 years ago = (a-3), (b-3), (c-3), (d-3) & (e-3) years So their average age 3 years ago = (a + b + c + d + e - 15)/5 = x ----- (2) ==> a + b + c + d + e = 5x + 15 ==> a + b + c + d = 5x + 15 - e ------ (3) iv) Substituting this value of a + b + c + d = 5x + 15 - e in (1) above, The new average is: (5x + 15 - e + f)/5 Equating this to the average age of x years, 3 yrs, ago as in (2) above, (5x + 15 - e + f)/5 = x ==> (5x + 15 - e + f) = 5x Solving e - f = 15 years. Thus the difference of ages between replaced and new member = 15 years.Related questions
