Option 4: 95 years

Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 95 years

Solution : Let the average age of 15 members of a committee be $x$.
The sum of ages of 15 members = $15x$
New average age = $x+4$
New sum of ages = $15(x+4) = 15x+60$
Let $y$ be the average age of 2 new members.
$15x-60-70+2y = 15x+60$
$⇒2y = 60 + 60 +70$
$ herefore y = \frac{190}{2} = 95$
Hence, the correct answer is 95 years.
