1. 15
2. 12
3. 10
4. 12.5

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : 10

Given:

The average age of 30 girls = 13

The average age of the first 13 girls = 15

Calculations:

Total age of 30 girls = 30 × 13

⇒ 390

Total age of 18 girls = 15 × 18

⇒ 270

∴ age of the remaining 12 girls = 390 – 270

⇒ 120

∴ required average = 120/12

⇒ 10 years

The average age of the remaining 12 girls is 10 years.
