The average age of 5 boys of a class is 15. If 7 more boys are admitted to the class with average age 12, and 3 of the existent boys leave the class with the average age 13, what will be the new average age of the boys of the class?

Correct Answer: 6.3
Total age of the existent boys = 5 * 15 = 75 Total age of the newly admitted boys = 7 * 12 = 84 Total age of the boys who left the class = 13 * 3 = 39 Total age of the class newly formed = 75 + 84 – 39 = 120 Total number of boys in new class = 15 + 7 – 3 = 19 Average of the newly formed class = 120 / 19 = 6.3
