Average Quants MCQs with Answer - Exercise I


Ques 1 Average

The average age of 14 girls and their teacher's age is 15 years. If the teacher's age is excluded, the average reduces by 1. What is the teacher's age?
  a) 32 years
  b) 30 years
  c) 29 years
  d) 35 years


c is the correct option
Let's assume that the teacher's age is x. The total age of the 14 girls is 14 * 15 years = 210 years.
So, the total age of the 14 girls and the teacher is 210 + x years.
If the teacher's age is excluded, the average reduces by 1, so the average age of the 14 girls is 15 - 1 = 14 years.
So, the total age of the 14 girls is 14 * 14 years = 196 years.
Now, we can use the equation:
(14 * 14 + x) / 15 = 15
Expanding and solving for x, we get:
196 + x = 15 * 15
196 + x = 225
x = 225 - 196
x = 29
So, the teacher's age is 29 years, and the correct answer is c) 29 years.
