SOLUTION

GIVEN

• The average age of a group of friends is 32 years.

• One more friend of age 25 years joined the group.

• The sum of their ages is 249 years

TO DETERMINE

The number of friends in the group

EVALUATION

Let there were x friends in the group when the average age of a group of friends is 32 years

So sum of their ages = 32x

Now One more friend of age 25 years joined the group

Now sum of their ages = 32x + 25

It is to be noted that now number of friends

= x + 1

Again it is given that the sum of their ages is 249 years

So by the given condition

32x + 25 = 249

$\implies \sf{32x = 224}$

$\implies \sf{x = 7}$

So total number friends in the group

= 7 + 1

= 8

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the total number of friends in the group = 8
