There are 14 players in a team. Average age of these 14 players is 'X'. 5 new players joined the team. There is no change in the average age of the team. What is the total age of these 5 players?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Given:
Average age of 14 players = X
New players = 5
New average age = X
According to the formula:
Average = Total Age / Total Players
Total age of 14 players = 14X
Now, total players = 14 + 5 = 19
New total age = 19X
Total age of the 5 new players = 19X − 14X = 5X
