Aptitude and Logical Reasoning Solved Problems:
The average age of five members is 27. If one of them is excluded the average decreases by 2. The age of excluded person is?
Answer : 35
Solution :
Average age of five members is 27
Total age = 27 x 5 = 135
After excluding one person, the new average = 27 - 2 = 25
New total age = 25 x 4 = 100
Then the age of excluded person = Total age - New total age
= 135 - 100
= 35.
Hence the required answer is 35.
