Answers
Answer:
37 years is the right answer
Given data :
⋆ There are eight teacher in a school
⋆ A 35 year old teacher was transferred
⋆ Another teacher joined a school and the average age increased by 2 years.
To find : Age of new teacher ?
Solution : Let, average age of eight teachers be z and sum of age of seven teacher be y.
⟹ Average age of eight teachers = (y + 35)/8
⟹ z = (y + 35)/8 ----{1}
Let, age of new teacher be x
Now, according to given, when new teacher join the school then average age increased by 2.
Hence, [from {1}]
⟹ z + 2 = (y + x)/8
⟹ z = (y + x)/8 - 2 ----{2}
Now, from eq. {1} and eq. {1}
⟹ (y + 35)/8 = (y + x)/8 - 2
⟹ (y + 35)/8 = (y + x - 16)/8
⟹ y + 35 = y + x - 16
⟹ 35 = x - 16
⟹ x = 35 + 16
⟹ x = 51 years
Answer : Age of new teacher is 51 years.
