The average age of 10 members of a committee is the same as it was 4 years ago, because an old member has been replaced by a young member. Find how much younger is the new member ?

Answer»

Let the sum of nine member (total) =xand the age of old one=zso its average 4 yrs before=(x+z)/10.after 4 yrs let z be replaced by y.so now avg=(x+4*10+y)/10

now (x+z)/10=(x+40+y)/10so after solving it foundz=y+40.so old person is 40yrs older than young one.
