The average age of 16 students in a college is 20. Out of them, the average age of 5 students is 20 and the average age of the other 10 students is 20.4. Find the age of the 16th college student.
Given,
Average age of 16 students = 20
$$=$$>Â Sum of the ages of 16 students = 16 x 20 = 320
Average age of 5 students = 20
$$=$$>Â Sum of the ages of 5 students = 5 x 20 = 100
Average age of other 10 students = 20.4
$$=$$>Â Sum of the ages of other 10 students = 10 x 20.4 = 204
$$\therefore\ $$Age of the 16th student = Sum of the ages of 16 students - Sum of the ages of 15 students = 320 - (100+204) = 16
Hence, the correct answer is Option B
