The average age of a group of 9 friends is 22 years. LAVGIR is the youngest and his age is 6 years, then what happened to be the average age of the family just before LAVGIR was born?

Correct Option: 1
Let xx be the sum of ages of 9 friends, then
x9=22\frac{x}{9}=22
x=22×9=198x=22\times9=198
One of those xx is LAVGIR, who is 6 years old. Age of the group just before LAVGIR =1986(9)=19854=144=198-6(9)=198-54=144
And now that LAVGIR doesn't exist yet, there are 8 friends now, hence average age =1448=18=\frac{144}{8}=18
