The average age of 80 boys in a class is 15 years. The average age of a group of 15 boys in the class is 16 years and the average age of another 25 boys in the class is 14 years. What is the average age of the remaining boys in the class?

A) 15.25 years B) 14 years
C) 14.75 years D) Cannot be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15.25 years

Explanation:

Total sum of age of 80 students of the class = 15 X 80 = 1200 years
15 students → 15 X 16 = 240 years
25 students → 25 X 14 = 350 years
Sum of 40 students = 590 years
Total age of remaining 40 students = 1200 – 590 = 610
So, average age = 15.25 years
