Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
According to the question,
Average age of 7 children = 12 years
Sum of ages of 7 children = 84 years
If a child aged 6 years died then
Sum of aged of 6 children = 84 - 6 = 78 years
∴ Average = $$\frac{78}{6}$$ = 13 years
Average age of 7 children = 12 years
Sum of ages of 7 children = 84 years
If a child aged 6 years died then
Sum of aged of 6 children = 84 - 6 = 78 years
∴ Average = $$\frac{78}{6}$$ = 13 years
