    Average

    In a village the average age of n people is 42 years. But after the verification it was found that the age of a person had been  considered 20 years less than the actual age, so the new average, after the correction,increased by 1. The value of n is :

    ক)
    21
    খ)
    20
    গ)
    22
    ঘ)
    None of these

    Explanation

    It is the same as a person with 20 years more age  replaces an existing person of the group ( or village) Since the total age of the village having n persons, is being increased by 20 years and the average age of village is being increased by 1 year, hence there are total 20 people in the village. Alternatively : ( n x 42 ) + 20 = ( n x 43 ) => n=20
