The average age of 10 people in a village is 40 years. If a person recently passed away in an accident, the average age increased by 1 year. Find the age (in years) of the deceased person.1. 312. 303. 274. 355. 38

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 31

Given:

Average age of 10 people in a village = 40 years

Formula Used:

Average Age of people in a group = Total of the age of all the people/Total number of people in the group

Calculation:

The total of age of all the 10 people in the village = 40 × 10 = 400

∵ The average age increased by 1 year, the new average age = 40 + 1 = 41

Total number of people now = 10 – 1 = 9

Hence the total age of all the remaining 9 people now = 41 × 9 = 369

So, the age of the person deceased = 400 - 369 = 31 years

∴ The age of the deceased person is 31 years
