Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 21

Given:

Average age of 5 students = 15

The average increase by 1 when one new student join the group

Formula used:

Sum of ages = Average × Number of persons

Calculation:

Sum of ages of 5 students = (15 × 5) years

⇒ 75 years

New average after a new student joined the group = (15 + 1)

⇒ 16

Sum of ages of 6 students including new joinee = (16 × 6) years

⇒ 96 years

Age of new student = (96 – 75) years

⇒ 21 years

∴ The age of new student is 21 years
