The average age of 8 men increases by 4 years when one of them whose age is 30 years is replaced by a new man. What is the age of new man?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

If the average of 8 men goes up by 4 years, the total of their ages goes up by

8×4=328\times4=32 years.

That whole increase comes from replacing one man by another.

So, new man’s age=30+32=62\text{new man's age}=30+32=62 years.
