For Priya's family, initial total age 3 years ago was 5 × 35 = 175, then with a birth and considering three years passed, new total becomes 5 × (35 + 3) + additional 1 year for new member (-1) + 3 = 209. Divide by 6 family members: 209/6 = approximately 34.83 in 3 years .

First, calculate the total weight for each class. The first class: 30 students × 30 weight = 900; the second class: 20 students × 40 weight = 800. Add these totals to get the combined weight: 900 + 800 = 1700. Divide this by the total number of students: 30 + 20 = 50 to find the new average: 1700 / 50 = 34 .

Let the original average age of the men be x, hence the total is 8x. The new total is 8(x - 2), indicating a 16-year decrease. Therefore, the replaced man's age was 40 + 16 = 56 .

When the average age remains same over a period of 10 years, the gain from the new born and the loss from the deceased must balance. The average age only remains unchanged if the father was 60 years old at his time of death, as calculated by equating the cumulative age change over 10 years .

Initially, the sum of their ages was 45 × 25 = 1125. After 10 years, the aggregate age would be 1125 + 250 = 1375. Subtract the retiring teacher's age at retirement (58) and add the new teacher's age (54). Adjust for the current number of teachers (24) to find the current average: (1375 - 58 + 54) / 25 = 54.8 .

Let the number of integers in the set be n. The sum of the integers is 55n. Adding 68 increases the average by 1, making it 56. Therefore, (55n + 68) / (n + 1) = 56. Solving for n gives the largest number in the set as 122 (i.e., n = 8).

Let the number of girls be g. Total age contribution of boys: 60 × 14.8 = 888. For girls: g × 14.1. The entire class average equation is: (888 + 14.1g) / (60 + g) = 14.7, solving gives g = 10 .

To find the new average age, first calculate the total age of the initial 30 students by multiplying 30 (students) by 30 (average age), which results in 900. Then add the new student's age: 900 + 40 = 940. Divide this total by 31 students to find the new average age: 940 / 31 = approximately 30.32 .

Initial sum of ages 10 years ago was 231. Over time, adjustments include deaths and births, netting around constant sum impacts. After tracking losses at age 60 and newborn entries, average converges to 24 when considering these member effects over the 10-year window .

If Dick is thrice Tom's age and Harry is twice Dick's, and Dick’s age is 1 year less than their average, solve using equations. Let Tom's age = x, Dick = 3x, Harry = 6x. The equation (3x - 1) = (x + 3x + 6x)/3 solves to Dick = 9 and Harry = 18 .
