Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 24 years

GIVEN:

average of 8 students = 19 years

average of first 3 = 20 years 

average of last 4 = 17 years

FORMULA USED:
average = sum of all observations/total number of observations

CALCULATION:

sum of age of all students = 19 × 8 = 152 years

sum of age of first 3 = 20 × 3 = 60

sum of age of last 4 = 17 × 4 = 68

age of fourth student = 152 - (60 + 68) = 24 years

∴ age of 4th student is 24 years
