Age Change Impact on Average

Introduction

कुछ average age वाले problems में ध्यान सिर्फ group के average पर नहीं होता, बल्कि इस बात पर होता है कि average changes when a member is replaced या कोई नया व्यक्ति group में जुड़ता है, तो average पर क्या असर पड़ता है। ऐसे questions direct average वाले questions से थोड़ा tricky होते हैं क्योंकि इनमें before-and-after effect को compare करना पड़ता है।

यहाँ key यह है कि difference in averages निकाला जाए और उसी का उपयोग करके उस व्यक्ति की age पता की जाए जो group में जुड़ा, गया, या replace हुआ।

Pattern: Age Change Impact on Average

Pattern

मुख्य idea:

अगर average बढ़ता या घटता है जब कोई व्यक्ति जुड़ता है या replace होता है, तो total change in sum of ages बराबर होता है (change in average × number of people).

इसी formula का उपयोग करके missing व्यक्ति की age आसानी से निकाली जा सकती है।

Step-by-Step Example

Question

5 दोस्तों की average age 20 years है। उनमें से एक, Raj, group छोड़ देता है और उसकी जगह Rohan आता है। Average age 21 years हो जाती है। अगर Raj की age 18 years थी, तो Rohan की age क्या होगी?

Options:

  • A: 20 years
  • B: 21 years
  • C: 22 years
  • D: 23 years

Solution

  1. Step 1: Original total लिखें।

    5 दोस्तों की total age = 5 × 20 = 100
  2. Step 2: Change के बाद नई total लिखें।

    New total age = 5 × 21 = 105
  3. Step 3: Totals का difference निकालें।

    Total में बढ़त = 105 - 100 = 5
  4. Step 4: इस change को Raj और Rohan से relate करें।

    Rohan की age = Raj की age + increase = 18 + 5 = 23
  5. Final Answer:

    23 years → Option D
  6. Quick Check:

    New total = 100 - 18 + 23 = 105 → New average = 105 ÷ 5 = 21 ✅

Quick Variations

अगर average decreases हो जाए बढ़ने के बजाय, तो leaving व्यक्ति की age में difference subtract करके नए व्यक्ति की age निकालें।

और अगर question में replacement का ज़िक्र नहीं है और सिर्फ नया व्यक्ति जुड़ता है, तो old total और new total को average के बदलाव से compare करें।

Trick to Always Use

  • Step 1: Total निकालने के लिए average × number of people करें।
  • Step 2: नए average से नई total निकालें।
  • Step 3: दोनों totals compare करके difference निकालें।
  • Step 4: दिए गए data के साथ इस difference का उपयोग करके missing age निकालें।
  • Step 5: Average को verify करें।

Summary

Summary

इस pattern Age Change Impact on Average को ऐसे solve किया जाता है:

Change in total age = Change in average × Number of people

  • Step 1: Original total age निकालें।
  • Step 2: Replacement के बाद नई total निकालें।
  • Step 3: दोनों totals compare करके difference पहचानें।
  • Step 4: इसी difference का उपयोग करके missing age निकालें।
  • Step 5: Average condition से verify करें।

Practice करते-करते average-change वाले problems बहुत आसान लगने लगेंगे!

Practice

(1/5)
1. The average age of 4 friends is 20 years. One new friend joins and the new average becomes 21. What is the age of the new friend?
easy
A. 25
B. 24
C. 23
D. 26

Solution

  1. Step 1: Compute the old total age.

    Old total = 4 × 20 = 80.
  2. Step 2: Compute the new total with 5 friends.

    New total = 5 × 21 = 105.
  3. Step 3: Find the new friend’s age.

    New friend = 105 - 80 = 25.
  4. Final Answer:

    25 → Option A
  5. Quick Check:

    (80 + 25) ÷ 5 = 21 ✅
Hint: New member = (new_avg × new_count) - old_total.
Common Mistakes: Forgetting to multiply the averages by the group size before comparing totals.
2. The average age of 6 players is 22. One player aged 28 is replaced by a new player and the new average becomes 21. What is the age of the new player?
easy
A. 22
B. 20
C. 24
D. 26

Solution

  1. Step 1: Compute the old total.

    Old total = 6 × 22 = 132.
  2. Step 2: Compute the new total.

    New total = 6 × 21 = 126.
  3. Step 3: Find the remaining total after removing the replaced player.

    Remaining = 132 - 28 = 104.
  4. Step 4: Compute the new player’s age.

    New player = 126 - 104 = 22.
  5. Final Answer:

    22 → Option A
  6. Quick Check:

    (104 + 22) ÷ 6 = 21 ✅
Hint: New = new_total - (old_total - replaced_age).
Common Mistakes: Not removing the replaced person before calculating the new member’s age.
3. The average age of 5 children is 12 years. A new child joins and the average becomes 13. What is the age of the new child?
medium
A. 16
B. 18
C. 17
D. 15

Solution

  1. Step 1: Compute the old total.

    Old total = 5 × 12 = 60.
  2. Step 2: Compute the new total with 6 children.

    New total = 6 × 13 = 78.
  3. Step 3: Find the new child’s age.

    New child = 78 - 60 = 18.
  4. Final Answer:

    18 → Option B
  5. Quick Check:

    (60 + 18) ÷ 6 = 13 ✅
Hint: New child = new_total - old_total.
Common Mistakes: Using the difference of averages directly instead of converting to totals.
4. The average age of 8 men is 25 years. One man leaves and the average drops to 24. What was the age of the man who left?
medium
A. 31
B. 30
C. 32
D. 29

Solution

  1. Step 1: Compute the old total.

    Old total = 8 × 25 = 200.
  2. Step 2: Compute the new total after one leaves.

    New total = 7 × 24 = 168.
  3. Step 3: Compute the age of the man who left.

    Left = 200 - 168 = 32.
  4. Final Answer:

    32 → Option C
  5. Quick Check:

    (200 - 32) ÷ 7 = 24 ✅
Hint: Left = old_total - new_total.
Common Mistakes: Forgetting to reduce the count when computing the new total.
5. The average age of a cricket team of 11 players is 24. If the captain’s age is included, the average increases by 1. What is the age of the captain?
hard
A. 34
B. 35
C. 36
D. 37

Solution

  1. Step 1: Compute the old total.

    Old total = 11 × 24 = 264.
  2. Step 2: Compute the new total with the captain.

    New total = 12 × 25 = 300.
  3. Step 3: Find the captain’s age.

    Captain = 300 - 264 = 36.
  4. Final Answer:

    36 → Option C
  5. Quick Check:

    (264 + 36) ÷ 12 = 25 ✅
Hint: New member’s age = new_total - old_total.
Common Mistakes: Not increasing the number of people when computing the new average.
