- A. 35
- B. 35
- C. 35
- D. 35
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The average age of a group of 15 employees is 24 years.
Therefore, the sum of the ages of all 15 of them = 15 * 24 = 360
When 5 more employees join the group, the average age increases by 2 years. New average = 26.
Now, there are 20 employees.
Therefore, the sum of the ages of all 20 of them = 20x26 = 520
Therefore, the sum of the ages of the 5 new students who joined = 520 - 360 = 160
And the average age of each of the 5 new students = 160/5 = 32 years.
Therefore, the sum of the ages of all 15 of them = 15 * 24 = 360
When 5 more employees join the group, the average age increases by 2 years. New average = 26.
Now, there are 20 employees.
Therefore, the sum of the ages of all 20 of them = 20x26 = 520
Therefore, the sum of the ages of the 5 new students who joined = 520 - 360 = 160
And the average age of each of the 5 new students = 160/5 = 32 years.
