    Mean of ages of 20 students is 10 years. 5 students with mean age of 15 years leave the class. Mean of ages of the remaining students will be:

    A) 4                                 

    B) 5.66

    C) 6.25                            

    D) 8.33

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[N=20,A.M.=10\] \[A.M.=\frac{\sum{X}}{N};\]            \[10=\frac{\sum{X}}{20};\sum{X}=200\] Now, the students with mean age of 15 years leave the class Sum of observation \[=\sum{{{X}_{1}}=A{{M}_{1}}\times {{N}_{1}}}\] \[A{{M}_{1}}=15,{{N}_{1}}=5,\sum{{{X}_{1}}}=75\] Remaining sum \[=\sum{X}-\sum{{{X}_{1}}}\]                         \[=200-75=125\] Remaining number of students                         \[=N-{{N}_{1}}\]                         \[=20-5=15\] Now, \[AM=\frac{125}{15}=8.33\]
