A logic puzzle . Can you solve it .

Question

The average age of a family—made up of two parents with kids—is 20. If you exclude one parent, who is 40, the average age drops to 15. How many kids are in the family?

Answer 1

import java.util.*;
public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int age,avg1,avg2,n,child;
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter age of a parent,avg1,avg2\n");
age=sc.nextInt();
avg1=sc.nextInt();
avg2=sc.nextInt();
n=(age-avg2)/(avg1-avg2);
child=n-2;
System.out.println("No. of child="+child);
}
}

Answer 2

correct but you need to prove it by making a code

Answer 3

3 kids

Answer 4

we can think this problem like this:

the 40-aged parent give each of others 5 ages to reach 20, then he (or she) can give 4 times, including another parent, so there are 3 kids

Answer 5

writing it as a code:

public int Solution(ave1, ave2, age){
return (age - ave1)/(ave1 - ave2) -1
}

Answer 6

In total there are 5 persons in the family .
Total age = 5*20=100
When you remove one parent
Total age of 4 persons = 60
avg=60÷4=15

Answer 7

okay

Answer 8

40 》》》 age of one parent
n - Number of others members of The family
n-1 number of children
x 》》 mean of n members of a family without 40
x=15 》》》 KNOWN
(40+n*x)/(n+1) 》》 mean of all members

Solution
》》

(40+n*x)/(n+1)=20 / *(n+1)
40+n*x=20*(n+1)
40+n*x= 20n+ 20
40 + n *15 = 20n + 20 / -15n-20
20= 5n / :5
4 = n / - second parent
3 = n-1 》》》 Number of children in a family
n-1 》》》 Number of children 》》》 3 :)
