Explanation & Solution

Correct Answer: (C) 35 years

Let the age of each of the three students be SSS. The teacher's age is T=S+20T = S + 20T=S+20. The average of the teacher and the three students is 20: T+3S4=20  ⟹  T+3S=80T+3S4\frac{T + 3S}{4}4T+3S​ = 20   ⟹  \implies⟹ T + 3S = 804T+3S​=20⟹T+3S=80. Substituting T=S+20T = S + 20T=S+20 gives (S+20)+3S=80  ⟹  4S=60  ⟹  S=15 years(S + 20) + 3S = 80   ⟹  \implies⟹ 4S = 60   ⟹  \implies⟹ S = 15  years\text{ years} years(S+20)+3S=80⟹4S=60⟹S=15 years. Thus, the teacher's age is T=15+20=35 yearsT = 15 + 20 = 35  years\text{ years} yearsT=15+20=35 years.

हिंदी में प्रश्न एवं आदर्श उत्तर

एक शिक्षक और तीन छात्रों की औसत आयु 20 वर्ष है। यदि तीनों छात्र समान आयु के हों और शिक्षक तथा प्रत्येक छात्र की आयु का अंतर 20 वर्ष हो, तो शिक्षक की आयु कितनी है?

A.(a) 25 वर्ष
B.(b) 30 वर्ष
C.(c) 35 वर्षसही
D.(d) 45 वर्ष

सही उत्तर: (C) 35 years

माना प्रत्येक छात्र की आयु SSS है। शिक्षक की आयु T=S+20T = S + 20T=S+20 है। शिक्षक और तीनों छात्रों की औसत आयु 20 वर्ष है: T+3S4=20  ⟹  T+3S=80T+3S4\frac{T + 3S}{4}4T+3S​ = 20   ⟹  \implies⟹ T + 3S = 804T+3S​=20⟹T+3S=80। T=S+20T = S + 20T=S+20 रखने पर (S+20)+3S=80  ⟹  4S=60  ⟹  S=15(S + 20) + 3S = 80   ⟹  \implies⟹ 4S = 60   ⟹  \implies⟹ S = 15(S+20)+3S=80⟹4S=60⟹S=15 वर्ष। अतः शिक्षक की आयु 15+20=3515 + 20 = 3515+20=35 वर्ष है।
