    The average age of board of directors of a company, having 10 directors was 48 yr. coincidentally when a director aged 53 resigned from the board of directors, another director died on the same day. So, a new director joined the board of directors aged 34. Next year in the same month, the average age of the all 9 directors was found to be 46 yr. The age of the late (i.e. dead) director at the time of his death was

    A) 56 yr    

    B) 53 yr

    C) 57 yr                            

    D) 61 yr

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Number of direction Average age Total age
    Just before death and resignation 10 48 480
    Just after death and resignation 9 \[[480-(53+x)+34]\]
    One year later 9 46 414
    One year later, total age is
    \[480-(53+x)+34+9\times 1=414\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]                           \[x=56\,\,yr\]
    where, x is the age of the death person at the time of his death.
