Explanation: Let total no. of people in the group be 100 and out of them x are men
i.e no of women = 100−x.
Mean age =
no of people
sum of ages in the group
Total sum = sum of ages of men + sum of ages of women
⇒100×25=x×26+(100−x)×21
⇒x=80
Hence, the percentage of men and women in the group is 80,20 respectively
